West Ham to offer £12M for Chelsea's SWP

West Ham United are planning a £12 million bid for Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips.

The Mirror says Wright-Phillips turned down the chance to move to east London in January after boss Alan Curbishley had a bid - believed to be around £12m - accepted by the deposed champions.

Blues boss Jose Mourinho is thought to have been against the sale, even though chances have been few and far between for the man who cost the Blues £21m two years ago. And Wright-Phillips, 25, is believed to be keen to stay and fight for his place.

But West Ham are hoping they can put together a financial package attractive enough to land the England winger, who scored twice against them in their 4-1 defeat at Upton Park.
