West Ham have seen a bid rejected for Southampton midfielder Mateus Fernandes. Sky Sports report the bid is around £30million, with Southampton said to value Fernandes at £50m. It's unclear whether West Ham will submit another bid.

Southampton are set to reject West Ham’s opening offer for Mateus Fernandes without even considering it, journalist Alfie House has revealed. The Hammers are chasing the 21-year-old starlet amid Graham Potter’s ongoing summer rebuild at the London Stadium but are unlikely to succeed with their initial bid, the value of which remains undisclosed.

West Ham are plotting a move to sign Southampton star Mateus Fernandes after Graham Potter gave the green light to sign a midfielder.

Fernandes arrived at St. Mary’s last year for a reported fee of £15 million, so a £30 million sale would represent a significant increase in his valuation after just 12 months. West Ham are also targeting the likes of Jacob Ramsey and Ngal-ayel Mukau as possible midfield options.
