Dzemaili? “It’s news to us” say Hammers

West Ham have strongly denied that they are attempting to buy Napoli midfielder Blerim Dzemaili.

Spurs have been linked with the Swiss international but morning reports suggested the Irons are ready to get involved in the bidding process.

The  28 year old worked under Sam Allardyce when he was manager at Bolton which may have helped the speculation

However, inquiries by ClaretandHugh this
afternoon suggest that  there is very little in the rumour.

We were told: It seems a case of find a player the manager knows and let your imagination run wild. This is all news to those inside the club and unlikely at best!”
