Pedro Obiang's exit from West Ham looks to have been put on hold with the Hammers seemingly asking for a higher transfer fee.
The midfielder looked set to join his former side Sampdoria last week with a number of reports claiming a deal between both parties was edging ever closer to being agreed, however talks look to have stalled.
West Ham have halted the transfer from going through with Manuel Pellegrini's side now reportedly holding out for up to €11m, as they consider him a less than entirely dispensable.
The 26-year-old has spent three seasons with the club after moving from Sampdoria in 2015, however his last two seasons with the club have been plagued by an ankle injury in 2016 and a knee injury last season.
