Baggies: Hands off Dorrans

West Brom have have rejected a third offer from West Ham for midfielder Graham Dorrans as chairman Jeremy Peace again stressed the player is not for sale.

West Ham today upped their bid for the Scotland international to £5m but Peace has told the Hammers they are wasting their time.

The Baggies have no plans to sell 23-year-old Dorrans, who signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract inn January.

Peace said: “Details of a third bid from West Ham for Graham Dorrans have been leaked to the media.

“This offer is completely unwelcome and, like West Ham’s previous two bids, it has been rejected out of hand.

“I have personally told West Ham they are wasting their time.

“Graham is not for sale – to West Ham or any other club.

“I cannot make myself any clearer on this subject.

“As far as we are concerned, that is the end of the matter.”

Peace added: “As ever, Graham is being a consummate professional and getting on with his pre-season training.

“We are now looking forward to seeing him play an integral part for the club in the Barclays Premier League next season.”
