West Ham target William Carvalho will be available for £30.75m this January as Sporting Lisbon attempt to balance their books.
According to Portuguese newspaper O Jogo, Sporting need to raise cash when the window opens and are finally ready to part with their star midfielder.
This will come as good news to the Hammers, who spent most of the summer attempting to land the Portugal international.
As talkSPORT told you this week, the east London club are reportedly still tracking Carvalho ahead of the January sales and they could be encouraged by this latest news.
