Crystal Palace have had an £11 million bid rejected for Cheikhou Kouyate as West Ham hold out for a fee worth £15 million for their midfielder, according to Football London.
Kouyate is looking likely to leave the club this summer and Palace have emerged as a potential destination for the 28-year-old.
The Eagles held initial talks with the Hammers earlier on this week to discuss a potential deal for Kouyate, with Roy Hodgson keen to add to his midfield options ahead of next season.
Kouyate, along with fellow midfielder Pedro Obiang, is one of several players whose position in the West Ham starting line-up is under threat as a new era under Manuel Pellegrini begins.
However, it seems as though the Hammers will not let Kouyate go for a reduced fee, with the club said to be holding out for a figure worth £15 million.
Football London report that a similar price is being demanded by the club for Obiang, who is being chased by Sampdoria this summer.
