Derby County have reportedly refused to give up hope of signing George Thorne from West Bromwich Albion.
The Premier League club are said to have rejected an offer from the Rams, who secured the 21-year-old midfielder's services on loan for the latter half of last season.
According to the Derby Telegraph, a second offer of around £1.5m plus add-ons has also been turned down, but Derby are continuing to monitor the situation.
Reports claimed earlier this month that the Baggies rejected an official transfer request from Thorne.
