West Ham Miss Out on Deadline Day Duo Due to Pair's Hefty Wage Demands

West Ham missed out on signing Maxi Gomez and Michy Batshuayi on deadline day due to the pair's wage demands, according to reports.

It was a fairly quiet deadline day for West Ham fans with the club failing to add to their squad before the deadline passed, however they didn't go without trying.

A number of reports were linking the Hammers with moves for the likes of Olivier Giroud, Duvan Zapata and Andrea Belotti with the club desperate for a striker, but the only real news that came out of the London Stadium was that Marko Arnautovic's proposed move to China had fallen through and that the Austrian had signed a contract extension with the club.
