However, the Blues remain open to selling him for the right price this summer transfer window. Although, they are demanding a transfer fee of 50 million.

WEST HAM AND CONNOR GALLAGHER TRANSFER LINKS FULL STORY

According to reports, West Ham made a 40 million bid for Chelsea midfielder Connor Gallagher. However, Chelsea have also rejected the offer immediately. The Blues want a fee of 50 million. Hence, it is not yet clear that the Hammers will make a second bid. There is also another issue in the deal for Hammers. Connor Gallagher has also not agreed personal terms.

He wants to fight for his future with Chelsea. Hence, West Ham will have to also convince Gallagher that they are best team for him in the long-term. Connor Gallagher is also aware that Chelsea are trying to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton. Hence, there is no guarantees that Connor Gallagher will get regular game time next season.

THE HAMMERS ARE ALSO TRACKING SCOTT MCTOMINAY AND JAMES WARD PROWSE

West Ham are also monitoring the situations of Scott McTominay and James Ward Prowse for this summer. A report also claimed that the Hammers were close to the signing of James Ward Prowse. However, the report does not have a truth. Southampton rejected a 25 million bid from the Hammers for their club-captain. Hence the Hammers have not yet made a second bid.

West Ham have also long-term interest in Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay. However, the Red Devils are demanding a price tag of 45-50 million for the Scottish midfielder. Hence, the price tag is currently putting off the Hammers to make a bid. The positive for Hammers in pursuit of James Ward Prowse is that the player has agreed personal terms and is also open to the move.

West Ham have also Juventus midfielder Denis Zakaria on their list. However, they are also struggling to agree a fee with Juventus for the midfielder. This is also because all the sides are asking big money from the Hammers as they are aware that Hammers have made 105 million from the sale of Declan Rice.
