West Ham United boss Manuel Pellegrini has reportedly rejected a host of interest in the club's midfielder Josh Cullen.

The 22-year-old came through the youth system at West Ham, but has only made nine first-team appearances for the Hammers in all competitions.

The midfielder has impressed in recent loan spells at Bradford City and Bolton Wanderers, however, and is now back with West Ham for pre-season training ahead of the 2018-19 season.

According to Sky Sports News, Championship duo Preston North End and Blackburn Wanderers have both made offers - in addition to a number of Football League clubs - but Pellegrini wants to keep Cullen at the London Stadium.

Cullen has made 14 appearances for Republic of Ireland Under-21s.
