Tranquillo Barnetta Not Coming To West Ham

In a refreshing break from the traditional agent's modus operandi Tranquillo Barnetta's agent has played down talk linking the Swiss ace with a move to West Ham.

"Tranquillo has three years to run on his contract at Bayer Leverkusen and they do no want to let him go," Voege said today.

"I have not heard from anyone from West Ham, but there is interest in Tranquillo from all around Europe. I have had calls from Deportivo La Coruna, Lyon and other German clubs as well as English sides, but Bayer Leverkusen do not want to do business. I have spoken to Bayer Leverkusen and they have told me he is not for sale. Tranquillo is happy at Bayer."
