Shorey made his England debut against Brazil at Wembley
|
Reading have rejected a bid from West Ham for defender Nicky Shorey, with manager Steve Coppell describing the offer as "derisory".
BBC Radio 5live reported on Wednesday that the Royals had turned down a £4m offer for the 26-year-old.
"I cannot deny there was a written offer made," said Coppell. "Given the price of players today we thought it was nigh on a derisory offer.
"We turned it down immediately and we have had no contact since."
