WEST HAM has been informed that they need to pay £7 million for Adama Traore.
The Hammers and officials conducted their initial face-to-face discussions regarding a deal for the strong Spanish winger during last Saturday’s match between the two London clubs.

The manager is eager for a reunion with the robust Traore, whom he previously managed at Wolves.
Traore, 29, is in the last year of his contract and will be able to leave for free at the end of the season.
However, Fulham understands that struggling West Ham is in urgent need of players this month as they face a daunting challenge to remain in the Premier League.
In Tuesday night’s 2-2 draw with Brighton, they took the lead twice but were fortunate to escape with a point due to their lack of offensive strength.
West Ham currently sits third from the bottom and is effectively five points away from safety, compounded by a troubling goal difference of minus 17.
Another hurdle in finalizing the deal is that Fulham has winger Samuel Chukwueze currently in Morocco, along with teammates Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey.
Fulham is hesitant to let Traore leave until the Nigeria trio returns to England, which may not happen until after the final on January 18.
West Ham will attempt to negotiate a lower price, but Fulham is not in a rush to sell their player. The club is even considering offering Traore a new contract for next season to retain him.
Traore primarily plays on the right wing but is also capable of switching to the left flank.
West Ham has struggled in that area of the pitch, as Cryscencio Summerville has scored only once since his arrival in August 2024.
