West Ham United are reportedly in contention to prepare a new bid for Czech Republic international Lukas Masopust according to several reports.
Czech publication iSport reported that West Ham's initial offer of £5 million was rejected as his club Slavia Prague were demanding £8m for their star player.
The Sun claim that the Hammers are set to revive their interest in Masopust and reapproach Slavia with a new amount as they look to secure a deal this time around.
He could be the club's second signing following Tomas Soucek initial loan deal before signing him on a permanent basis from Slavia Prague.
The 27-year-old could be an ideal fit for West Ham as he is versatile in his style of play switching between full-back and central midfield despite playing as a right-winger for most of his football career.
Masopust registered seven goals and five assists in 37 appearances across all competitions in the 2019/20 season.
