West Ham United 'to bid £8m for Bournemouth winger Matt Ritchie'

West Ham United reportedly consider lodging an £8m bid for Bournemouth winger Matt Ritchie.

West Ham United are reportedly planning to launch an £8m bid for Bournemouth winger Matt Ritchie after their initial enquiry was rebuffed.

The Hammers are believed to have angered Bournemouth with a £25m offer for both Ritchie and striker Callum Wilson prior to the Cherries' final Premier League game of the season against Manchester United.

That has not seemed to deter West Ham, though, as they are preparing to jump back in the market for Ritchie, and are also willing to increase their bid to £10m after instalments, according to The Telegraph.

The report claims that the London club, who are moving into the Olympic Stadium in Stratford this summer, contacted Bournemouth on Wednesday, but they were warned against lodging a fresh offer.

Ritchie joined the south coast club from Swindon Town in 2013.
