Russian side Zenit St Petersburg are willing to pay Roberto Pereyra’s asking price, with the Argentine set to snub a switch to West Ham in favour of a move east, according to Tuttosport.

The Hammers have been consistently linked with a move for the South American playmaker in recent weeks, while a host of other Premier League sides are also thought to be tracking the star.

However, Juventus have reportedly dug their heels in over the potential transfer fee they would receive should Pereyra leave Turin.

Zenit are ready to splash £13 million on the attacker, which is a fee that West Ham nor any other Premier League side is yet to match.

Pereyra has played a role in the Bianconeri’s success in recent years but is not an automatic starter for Max Allegri’s men, with the Italian champions set to raise some revenue by moving him on this summer.
