Hammers want £100,000-a-week star
Sullivan (left) and Gold bought a controlling stake in West Ham earlier this week
West Ham's new owner David Sullivan has offered a striker wages of £100,000-a-week to join the club. Sullivan, who now controls the Hammers together with David Gold, admitted this week that the club are £110m in debt.
But with West Ham struggling in the league, Sullivan has made the offer to a "special" player to try to avoid the "horrendous" prospect of relegation.
Sullivan would not name the player but Real Madrid's Ruud van Nistelrooy has been linked with the club.
"We've offered £100,000-a-week to a player today and we are still not sure we are going to get him," Sullivan told BBC Radio 5 live. "That was a very special player.
"We are doing our best for West Ham but at the moment we are drawing blanks."
