West Ham United have apparently suffered a blow to their hopes of signing Benfica striker Darwin Nunez on transfer deadline day.
It had been reported that West Ham and Benfica had come to an agreement on a transfer fee over the weekend, with a deal hoped to be pushed through on deadline day today.
However, Sky Sports has now reported that Benfica have rejected West Ham's offer for the 22-year-old, who has impressed with a prolific goalscoring record this season.
