West Ham Interest in SWP Confirmed

Chelsea chief-executive Peter Kenyon has confirmed that West Ham have made enquiries about Shaun Wright-Philips. The enquiries seem to have been made pre-take over, on the basis that West Ham would put in an offer if transfer money became available.

"We have had some interest from West Ham but not an official offer. We are not looking to sell players but if we receive an official offer then we will review the situation.

The interest came in the context of the pre-takeover period at West Ham in terms of whether there was any possibility of something happening and that funds may be available if the takeover went through. Any discussions about figures is purely speculative though as there has not been an offer."
