WEST HAM have not given up hope of signing Sam Byram from Leeds despite Everton already having a bid accepted.
Roberto Martinez is hoping to discuss terms with the talented 22-year-old, who can operate in any position on the right, and make him his latest young signing after having a bid accepted this afternoon.
The fee would start at round £3m and rise.
But West Ham are also seeking to lure Byram to the Premier League and will look to offer him a starting role.
Leeds have been offered cash plus two unnamed players for Byram by the Hammers.
Byram told Leeds he would not sign a new deal and, given that he is out of contract this summer, Leeds chairman Massimo Cellino has chosen to bank the bid rather than risking a tribunal setting a lower fee.
Aston Villa have also bid, but Martinez’s track record of developing young talent could swing it
