Christina Benteke has scored seven goals in 12 Premier League appearances, but still faces an uncertain future at Liverpool.
West Ham chairman David Sullivan revealed his admiration for Christian Benteke but conceded the Liverpool striker's wage demands are a stumbling block ahead of any potential move.
Benteke is facing an uncertain future at Liverpool, having failed to fully convince manager Jurgen Klopp, though he has managed to score seven goals in 12 Premier League appearances.
The 25-year-old Belgium international is reportedly a target for West Ham, who may be priced out of a deal.
"The problem is he is on such a huge wage that no club can afford him," Sullivan said in quotes attributed to the Mirror.
