Football Gossip

Valon Behrami the Switzerland international midfielder will not join West Ham this transfer window, according to his agent Alessandro Beltrami.

 

The current Lazio player who is keen to leave his club to gain more first team experience has been closely linked with West Ham this summer.

 

Valon Behrami caught the eye of several top clubs following his impressive performances at the recent European Chanpionships 2008. Although the Swiss campaign was brief, a number of clubs were alerted about his position.

 

The agent, Alessandro Beltrami claims that his client’s first choice destination would be the German Bundesliga, while also rejecting the gossip of a possible transfer to West Ham.

No basis

Beltrami said: “The stories linking Valon with West Ham have no basis.

“He has his heart set on playing in the Bundesliga, so therefore England is not a priority for him.

“The player will return from vacation this week after which we will decide his future.

“We have received offers from Germany, Spain and England, but so far there are no meetings scheduled.”
