Report: Hull rejects £6M bid from West Ham for Robert Snodgrass

Hull City is reportedly still fighting off interest from West Ham United when it comes to Robert Snodgrass.

West Ham submitted a third bid for Snodgrass, which was valued at £6 million and rejected by Hull, sources told Sky Sports. The refusal to sell the Scottish winger apparently comes after the Tigers turned down two offers from the Hammers of £3 million and £5 million.

Snodgrass, the outstanding player in Hull's dismal season, is contracted by the Tigers until the summer of 2018 after the club exercised its option to extend the 29-year-old's contract in December. However, the player allegedly rejected a new deal and, according to the Guardian's Ed Aarons, is expected to be given permission to leave KCOM Stadium for around £8 million.

There was reportedly an opportunity for Snodgrass to join the Chinese Super League and earn around £4 million per season after tax, but the knee injury that sidelined him for more than 14 months means he's keen to make up for lost time in the Premier League. Middlesbrough is apparently among other potential suitors.

The bright spot in Hull's atrocious season, Snodgrass boasts seven goals and three assists through 20 Premier League appearances.
