West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has told Everton that they need to be 'more realistic' in their valuation of Yakubu Aiyegbeni and has confirmed that his club are now looking at different transfer targets.

The Hammers had bid for the Nigeria international on Tuesday with new manager Avram Grant seeking to increase his attacking options ahead of the new Premier League season.

Everton would appear to be willing to listen to offers, but Sullivan was less than impressed with an £8m valuation and has implied that West Ham are looking elsewhere after stating that Yakubu should be worth between £1m and £2m.

Sullivan said in the Daily Telegraph: "We have cooled on Yakubu. When you have a good, hard look at him, we want younger and quicker and better.

"Everything has a price. You want to get Yakubu for £1-2m and they are quoting £8m and that is far too much.

"They have to be more realistic. If they said £1-2m we might go back. We bid more at the start of the summer because we had more flexibility but, at this moment in time, having spent some of our money on other players we want him for £1-2m."

So, Nairalanders, do you think the guy is worth more than £1-2m?? Me I DONT!!!!

With his woeful performance at the world cup, he should'nt worth more than  £1m. But come to think about it, what does West Ham want him for? or are they looking out for a player who ll scoop the award of most missed goals?

5000 naira only, nonsense.

5000 too much. They shld pay 350 Cowries!!

Haba guys, una bad o, una no know this guy again? NA YAK OOO, PROLIFIC STRIKER MISSER!!

The guy needs to do a lot to redeem his image.
