WEST HAM have been told to fork out £18m to land Nottingham Forest’s Matty Cash.
The 22-year-old right back has attracted interest from several Prem sides this month.

And the Hammers are prepared to offer £12m to bring him to the London Stadium.
But Forest are unwilling to sell unless a bigger fee is put on the table.
AC Milan and Everton are also still keeping tabs on the promising defender.
Milan chief executive Ivan Gazidis has told club scouts signing a young British full-back is a priority — with Cash top of his wishlist.
Everton have sent scouts to watch Cash on numerous occasions throughout the season.

Cash, who has risen through the Forest academy, signed a new 3½-year deal back in November, fending off interest.
His fast rise came after injuries to Tendayi Darikwa and Carl Jenkinson led Forest boss Lamouchi to use him at right- back.
Now that could be a switch that changes not just his fortunes but his club.
