West Ham have reportedly increased their offer for Olympiacos’ attacking midfielder Kostas Fortounis, according to Greek outlet Sdna.Gr, cited by Sport Witness.
The Hammers look set to bring at least one attacking option to the London Stadium in the current window and previously offered €10m for the Greek international.
That offer was turned town by Olympiacos, however, West Ham are keen on signing the player and have now increased their offer by €7m.
The 26-year-old has caught the eye of numerous clubs around Europe after an impressive season with Olympiacos, scoring 17 goals in an attacking midfield role.
Fortounis, who has plied his trade with Olympiacos since 2014, has turned out 196 times for the club and has represented the Greek giants in both the Champions League and Europa League.
Boss Manuel Pellegrini is desperate to add to his creative options at the top end of the pitch, and securing the services of Fortounis for just €17m could prove to be an excellent piece of business.
