wilsonReports from Sky Sources that Bournemouth have rejected a £25m bid from West Ham for striker Callum Wilson and midfielder Matt Ritchie are wide of the mark ClaretandHugh understands.

Sky Sports claim the Hammers have been told Wilson and Ritchie are not for sale at the moment and conveniently added the Irons are not planning to make any further offers. The whole report has left the club bemused and officially marks the start of silly season.

We understand no bids have been tabled for the duo and the club do not value the pair anywhere close to £25m touted should they ever decide to make a move.
The 2016 summer transfer window opens on Thursday, June 9th and closes on Wednesday, August 31th two and a half weeks after the start of the 2016/17 Premier League season. With the new TV broadcast deal starting in 2016/17, clubs may break the £1bn transfer fees spent in 2015/2016 season.
