West Ham are watching St Etienne defender Kévin Malcuit.
Le 10 Sport says the Hammers made two offers of €8 million and €10 million during the January market.
ASSE refused to do business, but the Irons intend to try again this summer.
The Sun says West Ham hope an offer of €12 million for Malcuit will be enough for ASSE to sell.
However, French sources say they'll have to go higher to bring St Etienne to the table.
