West Ham have been told they must cough up nearly £7million to land keeper Lukasz Fabianski. The Hammers had their opening bid rejected last week as part of a double swoop which included defender Alfie Mawson.
But Swansea are playing hardball even though they got relegated this season and Fabianski wants to leave rather than play Championship football. West Ham want a new keeper to replace Joe Hart, who is back at Manchester City after a year on loan.
Fabianksi, 33, played the second half of Poland’s 2-2 draw with Chile last Friday.
He is slugging it out with another former Arsenal keeper Woijech Sczezny for the number one spot at the World Cup.
