Premier League club, West Ham United have suffered a second setback in their pursuit of Mohammed Kudus.
According to talkSPORT, Ajax have rejected the latest bid from West Ham for Kudus thought to be in the region of £34million plus add-ons.
The Dutch giants are willing to do a deal, but are demanding at least £40million up front for the Ghanaian international.
Kudus was previously a target for Premier League side Brighton.
Although negotiations to sign the 23-year-old ended at an early point in proceedings.
Kudus, who was impressive for Ajax last season, has predominantly played as either a No.10 or right winger for both club and country.
