Mascherano Wants to Stay at West Ham

Javier Mascherano's agent has moved quickly to scotch rumours of a possible loan move to Brazillian side Flamengo.

Walter Tamer is reported by Globoesporte.com as saying, "I believe the possibility of Mascherano signing for Flamenco or any Brazilian club is zero. He elected to go to Europe, and that is where is he likely to stay.

"I have seen nothing that would indicate any negotiations [with anybody else]."
