West Ham have been linked with Gallagher throughout the transfer window. The English international would be seen as one of the replacements for Declan Rice.
Now, reports have shared that West Ham have already had a £40million bid rejected for Conor Gallagher this summer window.
The same reports have suggested that Gallagher has indicated that he wants to stay at Chelsea and not move to West Ham.
