West Ham have joined the battle for Everton star Ross Barkley.

The Daily Star says Hammers boss Slaven Bilic will meet Barkley's wage demands of £140k a week.

That is just over double his current pay packet.

Everton and manager Ronald Koeman are preparing for his departure after he failed to sign a new contract by the end of the season.

They have made it clear they are set to pay up to £35m for Swansea midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson, 27.
