Declan Rice wants £30,000 a week to sign a new contract at West Ham, according to the Daily Express.
The newspaper say Rice, 19, has rejected two contract offers – the last one being a deal worth about £15,000 a week.
The Express also say Rice wants a six-year deal in which his wages would rise to £35,000 a week after three years.
It follows reports that talks with the club have broken down, potentially putting the defender’s future with the Hammers in doubt.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail say Aaron Ramsey will not be forced out of Arsenal in January.
Ramsey’s contract talks with the Gunners have reportedly been scrapped, seemingly leaving Arsenal in danger of losing him on a free transfer when his current deal expires next summer.
And American tycoon Paul Allen is the latest man to be linked with a potential takeover of Chelsea.
The Daily Mirror suggest Allen, who owns the Portland Trail Blazers and Seattle Seahawks, is interested in a takeover.
The story is based on French publication Euro United claiming he has discussed a deal.
Allen, 65, is said to have met Pini Zahavi in New York to talk about a potential takeover.
Zahavi, a leading agent, is a friend of Abramovich and it is claimed that he has been given the task of sizing up possible buyers.
