Dominic Calvert-Lewin could reportedly become West Ham United's joint-fifth highest earner if he heads to the London Stadium this summer.
CaughtOffside reports that the Hammers are one of several Premier League clubs interested in signing Calvert-Lewin. The English striker is likely to demand around £100,000 per week.
Calvert-Lewin has become a free agent after leaving Everton earlier this summer and he has yet to decide where his future lies. Graham Potter wants a new frontman amid his side's struggles in front of goal last season.

West Ham are joined in the race by Manchester United, Newcastle United and newly-promoted Sunderland, with all four clubs keen on capitalising on Calvert-Lewin becoming a free agent. He encountered a topsy-turvy past season at Everton amid a hamstring problem but has plenty of experience in the English top-flight.
Celtic are also eyeing the 11-cap England international, while clubs from the Bundesliga, MLS and the Saudi Pro League are also considering him. He spent nine years at Goodison Park but injuries were an issue, particularly at the back end of his spell.

West Ham have money to spend after selling Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham Hotspur for £55m. The Ghanaian attacker earned a purported £90,000 (per Capology) at the London Stadium, which may be factored into any move for Calvert-Lewin given his wage demands.
Kudus faltered under Potter after flourishing during David Moyes' second reign, managing just five goals last season. A lack of firepower has been a problem for the Irons and while Calvert-Lewin hasn't been prolific in recent years, he does offer a target-man profile that can help bring others into play, once dubbed "phenomenal" by Tony Cascarino.
The 28-year-old isn't the only attacker on the London outfit's radar as they are keeping tabs on Ipswich Town winger Omari Hutchinson. They are reportedly among a host of Premier League sides looking at the versatile Englishman who caught the eye for the Tractor Boys last season.
