​Wages proving stumbling block for West Ham pursuit of Everton left-back Digne

West Ham United are among the teams with a serious chance of landing Everton left back Lucas Digne.

The Frenchman wants to play European football and is not happy at the Goodison Park club.

According to the Daily Mail, West Ham are continuing talks with Digne, but his £100k-a-week salary is a sticking point for any deal.

Chelsea are also assessing the situation, while cash-rich Newcastle United reportedly put in a bid for Digne in recent days as well.

Digne is out of favor at Everton under manager Rafa Benitez, with the club signing Vitaliy Mykolenko from Dynamo Kiev recently.
