West Ham keen on cut-price deal for Everton's Jelavic
WEST Ham are eyeing Nikica Jelavic as a cut price alternative to Andy Carroll.
The Hammers have a £17million agreement to make the Liverpool striker's Upton Park loan a permanent move at the end of the season, but have already indicated that asking price is way out of their league.
Instead, they are monitoring the Croatian international's situation, after initially making a bid to sign him from Rangers before he moved to Everton 15 months ago.
The striker made an instant impact at Goodison, scoring 11 goals in just 16 games in a dream second half of last season's campaign.

The 21-year-old Feyenoord centre back has been impressing boss David Moyes all season, after having him watched by scouts on several occasions. Despite his young age, De Vrij has skippered Feyenoord this season and led the club’s charge to third in the Eredivisie, second only to PSV and Ajax.

Everton set to re-sign Joleon Lescott
JOLEON LESCOTT admits he will probably have to leave Manchester City this summer if he is to fulfill his World Cup dream.
Lescott made only his 14th Premier League start of the season for the rested Matija Nastasic on Saturday and knows another season of being a bit-part player is likely to cost him his place in the England squad if they qualify for Brazil.
He was left out of Roy Hodgson’s original party for the past two qualifiers, against San Marino and Montenegro, although he was called up because of injuries to others and performed impressively in both games, even taking the captain’s armband towards the end of the first.
