West Ham ready to offer Kostic big pay rise

.

The 29-year-old could get a big pay rise if he heads to East London this summer as he would be swapping Champions League football for the Europa Conference League.

Talks are ongoing between Frankfurt and West Ham but 90 Min states that Moyes’ side are short of the Bundesliga club’s valuation at this moment in time.

But there is hope that the Hammers can convince Kostic to make the move, especially after signing Scamacca this week, who shares the same agent.

West Ham pushing to sign Kostic

Earlier this week, journalist Dean Jones told GiveMeSport that West Ham had performed a U-turn and really moved forward in their attempts to sign the Serbian wing-back.

Now it seems that the Hammers are even willing to offer the player big money in order to convince him to make the switch.

Moyes is clearly convinced that Kostic can be a great addition to his side and having faced off against him in the Europa League semi-final, the Scotsman will know exactly what the Serbian can offer.

The Frankfurt wing-back was brilliant for the Bundesliga side last season and was a big part of their Europa League win. Kostic scored three goals and provided six assists in the competition and provides a real attacking threat from wing-back.

West Ham will hope that a big pay rise can convince the player to give up Champions League football as the player would certainly help Moyes’ side push towards that goal themselves.
