Hull City remain keen to loan right-back Carl Jenkinson from Arsenal, but the Mail understands they have not tabled a £3m bid.
Reports today suggested Jenkinson had been targeted for a permanent move to the KC Stadium, but sources have suggested this is not the case and a loan move is the only way the Tigers could bring him in.
Even so, club officials are aware they face stern competition for the one-cap England international, who is believed to be keen to stay in the south.
That would appear to put West Ham at the head of the queue of clubs wanting to secure the 22-year-old's services.
Jenkinson is now surplus to requirements after the Gunners signed right back Mathieu Debuchy from Newcastle for £10m and the versatile Calum Chambers from Southampton in a £12m deal earlier today.
Swansea and Sunderland have also shown an interest in Jenkinson.
