West Ham transfer update

A second bid by West Ham for Nottingham Forest’s Matty Cash now seems unlikely with the Championship side determined to keep hold of their important player. Club insiders have this morning confirmed an offer totalling £12m was rejected by Forest who are fourth in the second-tier league as they push for promotion to the Premier League.

If they fail to gain promotion they will listen to offers in the summer from West Ham.

Meanwhile, Sky Sport Kaveh Solheekol claims ‘West Ham in talks to sign Amiens striker Serhou Guirassy on loan. Amiens paid Köln £5m for him last summer.’

David Moyes admitted nothing close at the moment saying it could all come down to transfer deadline day.

The manager told reporters at yesterday’s pre-match press conference “Sometimes it does go to the last day, sometimes that’s what you have to do. That’s why the deadline is that way. We’ve been linked with loads of players, it’s incredible the number we’ve been linked with.We’re always interested in players out there but we have nothing definite, nothing imminent that’s going to happen. But we are trying.”
