West Ham have reportedly struck an agreement with Chelsea for Kurt Zouma after meeting their £26million asking price, but the defender's personal terms have stalled the deal.
The centre back has long been the subject of interest from the Hammers and although they have made some progress in their pursuit, the Frenchman may need to lower his demands to seal a move.
Zouma wants a salary of about £125,000 per week, a significant increase on what he currently earns at Stamford Bridge, according to The Athletic.
The deal would make the French defender West Ham's highest paid player and his demands are proving to be a sticking point in the negotiations.
