West Ham's £40m bid for Chelsea's Gallagher rejected

West Ham have had a £40m bid for Chelsea and England midfielder Conor Gallagher rejected.

The 23-year-old has two years left on his contract and it is believed Chelsea would be open to extending it.

Any potential departure would likely have to be driven by Gallagher himself, with West Ham thought to be weighing up whether to go in with an improved offer.

The England midfielder is on Chelsea's tour of the USA and scored in the 4-3 win over Brighton on Sunday. As it stands, boss Mauricio Pochettino is planning for him to be part of the squad next season.
