West Ham transfer effors over after extraordinary fee named

West Ham United have been told by Fulham that they would have to make a bid of £40 million to land midfielder Tom Cairney before the close of the transfer window on Wednesday night, the Daily Mail has claimed in its live transfer blog.

The Hammers were interested in bringing in the Scotland international but the Whites have resisted all offers so far and have now slapped an extraordinary price tag on his head, although they will reconsider their position in the summer.

And whilst Cairney was open to making a move to West Ham and the Premier League, it now seems that he will remain at Craven Cottage to help the Championship side with their promotion push.

The Fulham captain was inspirational last season in his team's run to the play-offs, bagging 13 goals and laying on 12 assists across all competitions.

His form saw him named the club's Player of the Year, whilst he was also picked up the EFL Player of the Year at the London Football Awards.

This term has been less impressive; a knee problem interrupted the early part of Cairney's season and he has scored just once in his 18 second-tier outings.

However, there are signs of him beginning to get back to the levels of the last campaign, with three assists in his last five league appearances.

A 3-1 win over Barnsley on Saturday, which the 27-year-old was not involved in, coupled with Sheffield United's 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Tuesday, has seen Fulham move into sixth place and the final play-off spot.

As for West Ham, the club has added creativity in this window with the loan signing of Joao Mario from Inter Milan and whilst they wanted to land Cairney as well, the two sides are far apart in their valuations.

Hammers manager David Moyes will no doubt be hoping to complete some business on deadline day after seeing his injury-ravaged team held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace at the London Stadium on Tuesday evening.
