West Ham United are reportedly attempting to steal Colombia midfielder Carlos Sanchez from right under the noses of Bolton Wanderers.
The 26-year-old, who is currently a free agent following his release by French side Valenciennes at the end of last season, agreed a contract with the Trotters on Monday.
However, Sanchez's move to the Reebok Stadium has not yet been finalised and Hammers boss Sam Allardyce has now offered the player a more lucrative deal, according to The Mirror.
Sanchez has been capped 25 times at senior international level.
