WEST HAM could land one of two Manchester City stars as part of the deal that sees Lucas Paqueta head in the opposite direction.
The two clubs have held talks with the Brazilian, who is keen on a transfer to the Treble winners.

Man City are reportedly ready to pay £60million for Paqueta, but West Ham are reluctant to sell for any price.
He has an £85million buyout clause in his contract that becomes active next year.
The player would find it hard to turn down the chance to sign for Pep Guardiola's side.
And it is unclear whether Paqueta will be involved in the Irons' Premier League opener against Bournemouth on Saturday.

To help seal the deal, there is the possibility that City include a player in their offer.
West Ham have shown an interest in Kalvin Phillips and Cole Palmer.
They are supposedly huge fans of the England Under-21 star and a loan deal has been discussed.
David Moyes is open to using Jarrod Bowen as a striker this season, allowing Palmer to play in his preferred role on the right-flank.

It has not been confirmed whether the 21-year-old's potential loan move is part of talks about Paqueta or separate.
Palmer has been hopeful of more minutes at City after the departures of Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan.
He made just seven starts for the club last term but boosted his chances of receiving more opportunities after scoring in the Community Shield loss to Arsenal last Sunday.
Phillips was on West Ham's radar as they looked to replace Declan Rice.
However, they look to have opted instead for Ajax star Edson Alvarez and Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse.
Both could see their transfers confirmed this week.
