The Hammers are not pleased with how the deal has occurred.
Bournemouth’s Jordon Ibe in action with West Ham United’s Arthur Masuaku
It was reported last week by Sky Sports that West Ham United were investigating their deal for Arthur Masuaku.
They reported that the club felt they had paid over £1 million more for the player than they had expected.
Now a further report has detailed the issues.
Inside World Football have reported that West Ham believed they paid £6.8 million to Olympiakos for the player – however, the Greek club claim they have managed to receive just £5 million for his services.

The report includes a letter from West Ham club secretary Andrew Pincher mandating an agent to investigate the issues. The report seems to suggest that West Ham feel £1.8 million of their money has gone to unknown third-parties.
French left-back Masuaku was signed after West Ham decided they needed a new player in the position. This came following a serious injury sustained by Aaron Cresswell.
He impressed in his early games for West Ham, although had a poor game against West Brom at the weekend.
Now West Ham may be finding his acquisition more trouble than it was worth.
