Former West Ham boss Slaven Bilic turned down the chance to replace Tony Pulis at West Brom, the Daily Mail claims.
Bilic left West Ham in November and was approached by Baggies owner Guochuan Lai about the vacant position at the Hawthorns, but said he thought it was too soon to return to football, the paper says.
Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter is a wanted man, according to the Mirror. West Ham are keen on taking on the 27-year-old in January, but may face competition from Crystal Palace, the paper said.
Stoke are looking to bring Odion Ighalo back to the Premier League after a year in China, according to the Stoke Sentinel.
The former Watford player moved to Changchun Yatai at the start of 2017, scoring 15 goals in 27 appearances, and the Potters are apparently among four teams wanting to sign the striker.
Under the Hammer? Harry Arter

Arsenal are keen on bringing the French striker to the Emirates – potentially during the January transfer window as a replacement for Alexis Sanchez, the paper said.
