West Ham have seen their offer for Norwich City left-back Martin Olsson rejected, according to the Eastern Daily Press.
Olsson, 26, has worked with Hammers boss Sam Allardyce previously and had been tracked by West Ham through the summer.
A full Sweden international, Olsson moved to England to join Blackburn Rovers in 2007, leaving in 2013 to join the Canaries.
The Hammers chase for a left-back may not last much longer though, following the news Ipswich Town defender Aaron Cresswell is undergoing a medical with the Irons.
