Samuel Eto'o is pricing himself out of a move to West Ham United.
Eto'o is available after coming off contract at Chelsea this summer.
The London Evening Standard says manager Sam Allardyce held talks with Eto'o's representatives yesterday about a season-long deal but the main stumbling block remains the striker's salary demands - around £100,000 per week.
