West Ham make more enquiries for Alexander Sorloth but Villarreal are holding out for £32m for the former Crystal Palace striker

West Ham have made further enquiries for Villarreal striker Alexander Sorloth but the Spanish side are holding out for £32million.

That is the value of the buy-out clause in his current contract.

The 28-year-old former Crystal Palace forward had a standout campaign with Villarreal last season, scoring 26 goals in 41 games.

West Ham have discussed an offer worth £25m but Villarreal are demanding more.

The Norway international also has interest from Roma.

Roma have turned down an offer from AC Milan for Tammy Abraham but expect improved bids.

The Serie A side have also asked about former West Ham striker Sebastian Haller at Borussia Dortmund.

West Ham, who are close to completing the £18m sale of Flynn Downes to Southampton following his medical on Tuesday, want to bolster their forward options and have asked about Ajax winger Steven Bergwijn too.

Atletico Madrid's Samu Omorodion, Aston Villa's Jhon Duran and Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin are other forwards they have been discussing.
