West Ham have been informed of Genoa's asking price for Diego Laxalt.

TMW says Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini is considering a swoop.

Laxalt is highly regarded in Italy and can be deployed as an attacking midfielder or on the left flank.

But with his stock high, Genoa are refusing to sell him on the cheap and will demand £18m to sell.

Everton are also sniffing around and are yet to make a summer signing.
