William Carvalho is wanted by West Ham

The Hammers have lost their opening two Premier League games but that's only served to increase the club's intentions of bringing in William Carvalho.

He's the one major transfer target the club have in their sights with just 10 days left of the transfer window - despite complications with the deal.

West Ham thought they had agreed a £32m fee with Sporting last week, according to The Sun.

But Sporting threw a spanner in the works by increasing their demands to £36.5m at the last minute.

The Hammers have said no but it's left Slaven Bilic frustrated as he targets the midfielder in what would be a club-record move.

Regardless of the complications, West Ham remain confident he will sign before deadline day.
