Brentford have reopened dialogue with West Ham over left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf, though the two Premier League clubs remain some distance apart on valuation.
Ben Jacobs says the London sides have been back in contact and that discussions are ongoing. He adds the update alongside Alex Crook, noting a significant difference in how the deal is currently priced.
The indication of a wide gap suggests progress hinges on at least one party shifting position. While talks are active, there is no suggestion of an agreement and no fee in place at this stage.
As with any developing move, timelines can change quickly if negotiations advance, but the pricing stance outlined here points to further work before a breakthrough is likely. There has been no official word from either club.
Midfielder will continue to monitor the situation should the talks move towards a compromise.
