West Ham have had a move to sign Arsenal misfit Sebastien Squillaci on loan knocked back.
The Gunners are ready to listen to offers for the 31-year-old French defender, but it is left loaning him out now could jeopardise a permanent move to another club in January.
Squillaci has already appeared for Arsenal in the Carling Cup this season, and players can only turn out for three clubs in a single campaign with special dispensation - which is usually only granted for young players or those involved in contract disputes.
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce, who signed Arsenal keeper Manuel Almunia on loan earlier this season, is after emergency cover in defence as Hammers pursue an instant return to the Premier League.
A permanent deal for Squillaci with the east London side is thought to be unlikely.
