West Ham United haven't given up on signing Nice striker Loic Remy.
The London Evening Standard says Liverpool remain very much in contention as Nice hold out for a substantial cash offer with the Hammers looking to pay off the £12million transfer fee in instalments.
"For the moment it's the same status quo, but if Liverpool make an offer things will be done swiftly," Nice president Gilbert Stellardo told L'Equipe.
"The amount (offered by West Ham) suits me, but not the payment method.
"West Ham want to buy Loic because they think he could rapidly be worth 10million euros more if he plays in England.
"They don't want us to pay the full sum all at once."
