West Ham may yet still have a chance to sign Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic, with Bild reporting that the Serbian’s proposed move to Werder Bremen has collapsed.

Hammers boss David Moyes should undoubtedly be on the look-out for a central midfielder before tonight’s 11pm deadline.
Josh Cullen is all but gone whilst Mark Noble and Jack Wilshere will not be able to provide ample cover for Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek.
And it was claimed that Liverpool ace Marko Grujic was a target for West Ham (Telegraph journalist Mike McGrath).
It appeared as though he was set to join Werder Bremen earlier today, however (Football Insider).
But Bild now suggest that move has collapsed. So West Ham might just have a second bite at the cherry.
And we absolutely should move in to sign the 24-year-old.
Stats
The Serbia international spent last season on loan with Hertha Berlin.
The defensive midfielder played 29 Bundesliga games and racked up four goals and one assist in the process (Who Scored).
In those outings, Grujic averaged 1.9 tackles, 0.8 interceptions, 2.3 clearances and 1.5 dribbles per game. He made 37.6 passes on average per game with a completion rate of 78.7% (Who Scored).
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is allegedly prepared to sell the Serbian for just £18 million (Kicker).
West Ham really cannot afford to miss out on the 6ft 4in Reds ace.
