Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku has reportedly rebuffed he opportunity to join West Ham United on loan in the upcoming transfer window.

The Belgium international, who has spent the last two seasons on loan at West Bromwich Albion and Everton respectively, is once again set for a temporary move, having failed to convince manager Jose Mourinho to offer him with regular first-team football at Stamford Bridge.

According to The Mirror, the 21-year-old has rejected a switch to the Hammers for the second time in his career, as he is keen on playing for a top club that offers European football next season.
