The Hammers have seen an offer worth €4million (£3.4m) plus a further €4m in add-ons knocked back and are weighing up whether to make an improved bid as they push to sign a new right-back before tonight’s transfer deadline.

Aina, who was born in London and came through Chelsea’s youth ranks, joined Torino in 2018, initially on loan, before making the switch permanent the following summer.
The Nigeria international knows England and the Premier League well, making 34 appearances in the competition, most of which came for Fulham during the 2020-21 season, with the last being a 3-1 loss to Southampton.
Aina represented England at age group level but switched allegiance to Nigeria and has gone on to win 29 senior caps for the Super Eagles.
