West Ham are likely to fall short in their attempt to sign Matty Cash unless they raise their £12m bid for the Nottingham Forest right-back. West Ham’s proposal would have seen them pay £10m plus £2m in add-ons but Forest have little incentive to sell the 22-year-old for that amount. West Ham are monitoring Sampdoria’s Ronaldo Vieira and Slavia Prague’s Tomas Soucek, Stoke’s Joe Allen remains of interest and there could be attempts to sign Milan’s Franck Kessié and Nantes’ Abdoulaye Touré on loan. Moyes would also like to improve his attacking options and West Ham have been offered the CSKA Moscow striker Fyodor Chalov, who has been targeted by Chelsea. West Ham will not recall Grady Diangana from his loan at West Brom, who have agreed to pay £1.5m to keep the winger until the end of the season.
