WEST HAM have had a third bid for Graham Dorrans, believed to be worth £5.5million, rejected by West Brom.

The Hammers had previously lodged unsuccessful offers worth a reported £4m and £4.5m for the talented winger, but they returned with an improved bid this week, claims the Daily Mail.

However, Baggies chairman Jeremy Pearce has revealed the club's new offer has also been turned down.

“Details of a third bid for Graham Dorrans have been leaked to the media,” he said. “This offer is unwelcome and, like West Ham's previous two bids, it has been rejected out of hand.

“I have personally told West Ham they are wasting their time. Graham is not for sale – to West Ham or any other club. I cannot make myself clearer on this subject. As far as we are concerned, that is the end of the matter.”
