West Ham are holding further talks with Jesse Lingard as they try to lure him back to the London Stadium.
Lingard is a free agent from the end of next week as his Manchester United contract runs out and has been evaluating offers after a break in Miami.
West Ham made an approach at the end of the season and are going back with a new offer for the 29-year-old.
Lingard scored nine goals in 16 matches under David Moyes while on loan at West Ham in 2021 and a career revival could see him stake a claim for an England World Cup squad place.
Moyes, who brought in former QPR boss Mark Warburton to his backroom staff this week, is hoping to bring in around five players this summer.
Goalkeeper Alphonse Areola is poised to sign his permanent deal after a £10.5m fee was agreed with Paris St Germain and talks have taken place with Chelsea over striker Armando Broja.
Moyes also wants Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse but that deal may be beyond West Ham financially.
