West Ham want Everton striker for £2m

West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has revealed that they are not prepared to pay more than £1-2million for Everton striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni.

Everton are reportedly demanding £8million for the Nigeria international.

Sullivan said in the Daily Telegraph : “We have cooled on Yakubu. When you have a good, hard look at him, we want younger and quicker and better.

“Everything has a price. You want to get Yakubu for £1-2m and they are quoting £8m and that is far too much.

“They have to be more realistic. If they said £1-2m we might go back. We bid more at the start of the summer because we had more flexibility but, at this moment in time, having spent some of our money on other players we want him for £1-2m.”
