West Ham have jumped into the battle for Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose.

The Brazilian appeared all set to join Tottenham earlier this week, but negotiations have stalled over La Real's asking price.

Mundo Deportivo says West Ham have made contact about taking on Jose. The Irons want to take the striker on-loan to the end of the season, but La Real are insisting on a straight sale.

Tottenham's last offer was for €20m, which falls well short of La Real's valuation.

Jose has missed the club's last two games as he waits for news over a potential move away.
