Czech Republic international goalkeeper Jan Lastuvka has claimed that West Ham United are keen to bring him back to the Premier League.
The 26-year-old spent the 2006-07 campaign on loan at Fulham, before returning to his current club, Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk.
Lastuvka played in Germany with Bochum last season, but is tempted by the prospect of coming back to England.
He commented: "The offer from West Ham is there. The club wants me and going back to the English league is definitely interesting.
"Unfortunately, the negotiations have become very complicated on certain matters.
"I will not comment on any figures, but in general we were almost agreed with West Ham when the transfer fee increased all of a sudden.
"Since Monday the discussions have appeared to me very strange and under those conditions I don't rush into anything.
"We have not ended the talks, they still go on, but we cannot delay it much longer."
