West Ham try to tempt Carlos Bacca to the Premier League for a second time

Daily Mail | August 22, 2016

West Ham are set to make a fresh attempt to sign Carlos Bacca from AC Milan, by offering less than the £20million they originally tabled for the Colombian.

The Hammers are in desperate need of another striker to bolster their ranks after seeing Andre Ayew and Andy Carroll sustain injuries during the early days of the new season.

And manager Slaven Bilic hasn't given up hope of recruiting Bacca to the London Stadium, despite the player having previously indicated he is not keen on leaving his current club.
