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.

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 thought to be exploring the option of either a loan or a permanent deal for the 30-year-old defender, who was recently told he would no longer be Man Utd captain and may look to move elsewhere.
However, they are aware wages could prove to be a problem if a deal was to be agreed between the clubs.
