EXCLUSIVE: West Ham United’s bid for exciting wing wizard Ibrahim Osman has been hit by a blow says a top source.

With just over a week of the January transfer window remaining, West Ham are running out of time to make signings.

A loan deal for Kalvin Phillips looks set to be announced in the coming days.

And West Ham have moved straight on to exciting star Ibrahim Osman, as reported on Hammers News yesterday.

West Ham bid for exciting Osman

Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth reported on West Ham’s interest in Osman last week.

And it was claimed yesterday that the Hammers have now made an official bid of around £15m to sign the exciting Ghanaian winger Osman from Nordsjællands.

There’s been a problem, though, according to a very senior figure inside West Ham speaking to Hammers News overnight.

The West Ham bid for exciting wing wizard Osman has been hit by a blow says the top source.

Offer rejected reveals top source

Asked whether the Osman deal looked likely, the key senior Hammers source revealed it has been rejected by the Danish club.

“They have turned our bid down,” the source told Hammers News.

It’s not clear whether the West Ham hierarchy will go back in and raise their offer for the talented attacker.

Osman can operate across the forward line and either wing. He also fits the recruitment philosophy of Hammers technical director down to a tee.

Crucially, though, he looks to be just what David Moyes needs right now.

Especially with the injury to Lucas Paqueta and both Said Benrahma and Maxwel Cornet expected to move on.
