Guillermo Franco to leave West Ham

Mexico striker Guillermo Franco has confirmed that he is leaving West Ham.

Franco scored five goals in 21 Premier League games for West Ham but his one-year contract expires at the end of June and the east London club has told him it will not offer a new deal.
Franco says the club "told me 'bye bye,' so I won't be with West Ham next season."

The 33-year-old forward joined West Ham in September after he was released by Spanish club Villarreal.

Franco added that he enjoyed his time with West Ham but that he is now focused on the World Cup.

Franco scored Mexico's goal in Monday's 3-1 friendly defeat to England.

Franco injured a toe in the match but expects to be fit for the June 11-July 11 tournament.
