West Ham have offered £40m for Chelsea and England midfielder Conor Gallagher.
Gallagher has two years left on his contract and it is believed that Chelsea would be willing to extend it.
Any potential exit would probably have to be driven by Gallagher himself.
The English midfielder is on Chelsea’s US tour and scored in the win over Brighton on Sunday. As it is, boss Mauricio Pochettino is planning for him to be part of the team next season.
Sky Sports News he understands that Chelsea value him well over £40m.
Gallagher is one of the midfielders West Ham is considering following Declan Rice’s £105m move to Arsenal.
Fulham turned down a £45m offer to the Hammers for Joao Palhinha, and remain interested in Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse, Juventus’ Denis Zakaria and Ajax’s Edson Alvarez.
West Ham among clubs monitoring Maguire situation
Harry Maguire is being closely monitored by clubs in the Premier League and abroad, with West Ham among those interested in the England international.
The Hammers are believed to be exploring the option of a loan or permanent deal for the 30-year-old defender, who was recently told he would no longer captain Manchester United and could look to move elsewhere.
However, they are aware that wages could become an issue if an agreement is reached between the clubs.
United manager Erik ten Hag has always maintained that any decision will rest with the player, who has a contract with the club until the summer of 2025.
