HARRY ARTER will cost West Ham £15million to prise him away from Bournemouth.
But it seems the Hammers are unwilling to pay so much.
Reports suggest they had an initial bid of just £5m for the busy midfielder turned down.
But Hammers’ boss David Moyes is a fan of the Republic of Ireland international and wants him to boost the club’s bid to avoid relegation this season.
Despite signing a new four-year deal in the summer Arter looks to have fallen out of favour under Eddie Howe.
So a move away from the Vitality Stadium could suit all parties.

He is now establishing himself as a key first-team player for the Premier League strugglers having joined them from Leeds United in July 2016.
Crystal Palace are also thought to be interested in Arter.
Meanwhile, the Hammers could turn to Stoke City’s Joe Allen if they fail to cut a deal with the Cherries.
