West Ham United have reportedly had an offer for Nigerian international defender Azubuike Egwuekwe rejected.
The Hammers are on the lookout for a defender with Winston Reid expected to leave the club when his contract expires this summer.
Warri Wolves defender Egwuekwe is understood to have attracted the interest of the Premier League club. The 25-year-old reportedly wants to move on from Nigeria and the chance to join the Hammers is likely to appeal.
