West Ham A loan offer for Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis has been rejected.
The 24-year-old centre-back is understood to be open to a move, but the Saints are keen to keep hold of him unless terms improve significantly.
Harwood-Bellis has started all of Southampton’s past 17 league matches, winning his only cap for England in November 2024.
He joined Saints in 2023 on loan and helped the team win promotion to the Premier League, resulting in a permanent £20m move from Manchester City, before they were relegated in 2025.
West Ham, who are still in danger of relegation despite wins in their last two league games, are looking to strengthen their backline and have also explored a loan for Chelsea’s Axel Disasi.
Disasi, 27, is considered surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge, but the Blues would prefer a permanent sale rather than a loan at this stage.
It is understood that Roma and Lyon showed interest in the French defender earlier in the window.
West Ham ranks 18th in the English Premier League and will face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
