West Ham United remain interested in Hoffenheim striker Demba Ba.
The Sun says under pressure Hammers boss Avram Grant is still actively pursuing transfer targets.
He is keen on bringing in £7million Hoffenheim striker Demba Ba in time for West Ham's trip to Everton this Saturday.
Yet there must be a big question-mark over the deal, as the player has already seen a switch to Stoke collapse because of a failed medical.
The Midlands outfit may try to bring in Ba on loan until the end of the season with the promise of making it permanent if he can prove his fitness.
Boss Tony Pulis said: "I am desperately disappointed. The deal we agreed was a great one for the club. It was within our budget, which was important.
"There was no problem with the negotiations and the kid wanted to come to Stoke which was brilliant.
"Could it be resurrected? It might be. You don't know."
