West Ham have now pulled the plug on talks to sign Southampton’s Kyle Walker-Peters, sources have told Football Insider.

The 27-year-old had been one of their right-back targets this summer after Ben Johnson quit to join Ipswich when his contract expired.

But negotiations between Walker-Peters and West Ham have now collapsed, ending any potential transfer.

Football Insider revealed that Southampton had told West Ham it would take £20million to make a deal happen for the right-back.

Walker-Peters is entering the final year of his Saints contract, making this summer Southampton’s final chance to cash in on him unless new terms are agreed.

Despite the Walker-Peters transfer falling through, the Hammers will continue pursuing a right-back this summer.

Sources claim that Man United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka is one of the main targets that the club will be pushing to sign.

Football Insider reported that the 20-time champions are willing to let him leave Old Trafford this summer if the right price is offered.
