Hammers keeper deal stalls
by Adam Marshall, 23 July 2008
Jan Lastuvka has revealed that talks over a move to West Ham have stalled.
The Shakhtar Donetsk keeper claims he has been targeted by Alan Curbishley and is keen to link up with goalkeeping coach Ludo Miklosko, a fellow Czech.
After already spending time in London on loan at Fulham, the 26-year-old fancies a return to the English capital but the move appears to be on hold.
"The offer from West Ham, to go to the English league again, is certainly interesting and attractive," he told CTK.
"Unfortunately, the negotiations on certain matters became quite complicated."
There seems to be some argument over the fee but the player has not given up hope of joining The Hammers after spending last season on loan at Bochum.
Number one Robert Green recently suggested he was unhappy about the lack of a fresh contract offer at Upton Park but The Hammers were quick to insist he is staying at the club.
