Transfer Talk: West Ham try to tempt Fulham with £15m bid for West Brom and Newcastle target Tom Cairney

West Ham have made a £15m bid in the hopes of luring Fulham star Tom Cairney to the London Stadium this month according to Sky Sports.

The Hammers are looking to improve their midfield and are on the verge of loaning Inter Milan's Joao Mario and have been linked to the likes of Jonjo Shelvey this month.

The Cottagers have made it clear that they are not looking to sell key players ahead of their push for promotion and rejected bids for Cairney during the summer.

It was reported earlier in the window that West Brom were considering a £15m for the Scotland but it is understood that no bid arrived.

The ex-Hull player joined Fulham from Blackburn Rovers for just around £3m and has impressed ever since.

The 27-year-old was subject to a £20m bid from Newcastle in the summer and has since signed a new deal - one of the longest at the club.
