West Ham have held further talks with Inter Milan's Portugal international winger Joao Mario.
Manager David Moyes is looking to strengthen with Marko Arnautovic out for two weeks and Manuel Lanzini up to six with hamstring injuries.
West Ham will need to pay 25-year-old Mario's wages in full while Inter also want a loan fee or obligation to buy at the end of the loan.
Inter are looking to sell to meet Financial Fair Play requirements and also want to bring in Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge and Javier Pastore from PSG.
