West Ham United striker Demba Ba's personal demands are proving too rich for Everton.
The Mirror says Everton boss David Moyes is in the race for West Ham free agent striker Ba - but may be unable to afford his massive financial demands.
The hitman can quit the relegated Hammers after his brief stay this season, and Moyes wants to bring him in as one of three or four new captures.
However, Ba wants a huge signing-on fee as well as top wages, and the figures involved may be too much for Moyes and his money-men to afford.
