West Ham United are 'willing' to offer Paris-Saint Germain goalkeeper Keylor Navas a 'higher salary' to move to the Premier League, according to reports.

The Lowdown: Hammers making moves...

The Hammers and manager David Moyes are reported to be busy behind-the-scenes ahead of the summer transfer window's closure on September 1.

Bids have gone in and talks are underway for multiple players, including Club Brugge star Hans Vanaken and Chelsea left-back Emerson Palmieri (ExWHUemployee).

As head of recruitment Rob Newman identifies and begins negotiations for targets, it appears a new one has come on to West Ham's radar.

The Latest: West Ham ready to make bumper Navas salary offer...

Indeed, according to reports out of Italy, there has been a development involving PSG shot stopper Navas.

La Repubblica, via West Ham Zone (Monday, 15:04), claim the Irons 'undermine' Serie A giants Napoli in the race for Costa Rica's international star and there is 'strong interest' from Moyes' side.

As well as this, West Ham are 'willing to pay the player a higher salary' to join them - potentially threatening to hijack Napoli's deal for Navas.

The Verdict: Get it done?

Having just signed Alphonse Areola on a permanent deal, signing the 35-year-old arguably makes little sense when other areas of the squad need reinforcements badly - like defence for instance.

That being said, if West Ham do wish to sign Navas, his quality is evident with journalist Matteo Bonetti speaking very highly of him this month.

He claimed PSG's ace is a 'world class goalkeeper' who 'guarantees you extra points' (Twitter), and it will be interesting to see if West Ham do indeed leapfrog Napoli in the race for his signature.
