West Ham United have reportedly rejected a £15 million offer from Tottenham Hotspur for all-action midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate.
The 25-year-old Senegalese has scored twice in four Premier League outings for the Hammers this season and Spurs have been suitably impressed by the former Anderlecht player.
According to the Daily Mail, Mauricio Pochettino's side have seen a £15 million offer for the midfield powerhouse rebuffed.
Whether or not the north London outfit will return with a second offer remains to be seen.
The transfer deadline shuts at 6pm this evening.
