West Ham United did hold talks with Chelsea for Kurt Zouma.
Per Sky Sports News, Zouma is Hammers boss David Moyes' primary target for the center back position this summer.
However, the Blues want a fee of £25 million, while Zouma has high wage demands.
A deal may be beyond West Ham's financial scope, despite the club securing Europa League football through their Premier League finish last term.
Sky claims a deal for Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic is looking a lot more likely.
West Ham are in deep talks with Fiorentina and a deal could be concluded for a fee in the region of £14 million.
