West Ham try to tempt AC Milan's Carlos Bacca to Premier League again by bidding less than original £20m but with more cash up front

• Slaven Bilic needs to recruit a new striker for West Ham this summer
• Hammers boss is without injured pair of Andre Ayew and Andy Carroll
• Carlos Bacca is top of the Croatian's wishlist in final weeks of the window
• The Colombian has already turned down a move to the Premier League
• West Ham are set to offer more money up front for the striker
• Bacca would double his wages by swapping Serie A for England

  West Ham are set to make a fresh attempt to sign Carlos Bacca from AC Milan, by offering less than the £20million they originally tabled for the Colombian.
  The Hammers are in desperate need of another striker to bolster their ranks after seeing Andre Ayew and Andy Carroll sustain injuries during the early days of the new season.
  And manager Slaven Bilic hasn't given up hope of recruiting Bacca to the London Stadium, despite the player having previously indicated he is not keen on leaving his current club.

  Bacca, who scored a hat-trick for Milan against Torino at the weekend, was the subject of a £20million approach from the Hammers earlier this month 
  

  
  

  West Ham manager Slaven Bilic needs another striker following two high-profile injuries

  The Hammers' revised offer will give Milan more cash up front but with the total sum ultimately falling below the approach made earlier this month.

  A move from Serie A to the English top-flight would double Bacca's wages from the £60,000 per week he earns at the San Siro to £120,000 in London.

  The 29-year-old has already been involved in discussions regarding a potential move away from the Rossoneri but recently revealed his reasons for choosing to stay in Italy.

  'When the intermediary presented the offer, I consulted with my family and decided to stay, it was the right thing for me to do,' he told Sky Italia, without mentioning West Ham directly.

  

  Andy Carroll is out for six weeks after injuring his knee against Astra Giurgiu

  

  Andre Ayew has been ruled out for four months with a thigh problem sustained at Chelsea

  'I wanted to remain because I promised I'd take Milan back into Europe.' 

  West Ham beat Bournemouth 1-0 on Sunday to register their first points of the new campaign but Bilic is already counting the cost of the Premier League's early exchanges. 

  Ayew will be out of action for four months after limping out of the 2-1 defeat by Chelsea with a thigh problem and Carroll could be sidelined for as long as six weeks with a knee injury.

  The England international picked up the knock during the Hammers' 1-1 draw at Romanian champions Astra Giurgiu in a Europa League play-off on Thursday.
