Interest in Belgian star
NEC Nijmegen have claimed they turned down a bid from a Premier League club on transfer deadline day for leading scorer Bjorn Vleminckx.
The 25-year-old Belgian international is currently the top-scorer in the Eredivisie.
Vleminckx has attracted a great deal of attention this season and last week Blackburn, Fulham and Bolton are all known to have dispatched scouts to watch him.
However, the club in question is reported in Holland as being West Ham United.
"A club made an official approach and they also made an official bid," NEC technical director Carlos Aalbers confirmed.
"It was far from our asking price, we are talking about the top-scorer in the league and look how far he has progressed."
