Overview
- West Ham submitted an offer for Taylor Harwood-Bellis that Southampton immediately rejected, with GiveMeSport reporting it fell short of the club’s valuation.
- Sky Sports News first disclosed the bid on Friday, and subsequent reports confirmed the Saints’ stance had not softened.
- West Ham are pursuing defensive reinforcements late in the window and have explored Axel Disasi, with reports indicating Chelsea prefer a permanent sale over a loan.
- Everton and Burnley have been linked with interest in Harwood-Bellis, but there are no confirmed rival bids at this stage.
- Harwood-Bellis has 24 Championship starts this season after joining from Manchester City, and Southampton are expected to revisit decisions on his future in a later window.
