Sky Sports: Second bid rejected

The Hammers have had a second bid for Lille midfielder Amadou Onana rejected by Lille, according to Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth.

The Irons have pursued a deal for the 20-year-old, who is already a full Belgium international.

A bid was tabled for the player earlier in the transfer window, worth in the region of £21m, but it was rejected by the French club.

And a second offer, said to be worth €30m, or £25.4m, has now been both tabled and rejected.

While a further bid is not said to have been ruled out, the Irons are now said to be pursuing other targets.

Boss David Moyes has so far snapped up Nayef Aguerd, Alphonse Areola, and Flynn Downes, and may now shift his focus to a more attainable player.

This is one to keep an eye on, though, as we know that the club are interested in Onana and could come back in.
