West Ham are to make a third bid for Bruges captain Hans Vanaken.
The 30-year-old is desperate to link up with David Moyes who has made it clear he wants the 6ft 5ins midfielder as well as Lucas Paqueta.
Bruges have rejected £11m so far and do not wish to sell but Vanaken wants the chance to play in the Premier League.
The Hammers made an improved £9.2million offer for Club Brugge captain Hans Vanaken on Tuesday.
The offer included an extra £1.6m in add-ons but still isn't enough for Brugge.
