West Ham United continue to remain interested in signing Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma this summer, The Telegraph reports.
The east London outfit are keen on pursuing a new centre-back this summer with the extra workload after Europa League qualification.
Zouma has been on their radar for a while, and it is now reported that they are determined to seal a deal for the Frenchman.
The reported £25m price tag remains a stumbling block at the moment, but the Hammers are optimistic of lowering the fee.
Still, a move may not be straightforward with Zouma set to demand a significant raise on his current £50,000-a-week wages.
Aside from Zouma, they have been linked with the services of Rennes' Nayef Aguerd and Fiorentina's Nikola Milenkovic.
A move for Aguerd could be ruled out with Rennes stating that they won't entertain any offers for the Morocco international.
The Hammers could be priced out of a move for Milenkovic with Tottenham Hotspur recently entering the player's pursuit.
