Hammers star Noble dismisses Arsenal link as skipper Neill denies exit reports

West Ham midfielder Mark Noble insists he is not interested in a move to Arsenal.


The England Under U21 international said: 'I want to concentrate on West Ham.

'It's flattering but II think it's just all rumours and I'm firmly happy where I am at the minute.'

Meanwhile Lucas Neill's agent Paddy Dominguez rubbished speculation that the West Ham captain will be moving to Turkey and linking up with fellow Socceroo Harry Kewell at Galatasaray.

'It doesn't make sense that a manager who brought Lucas to the club and has installed him as captain would look to sell him,' Dominguez told The Australian.

'It would be very strange. Lucas' relationship with Alan Curbishley is good and he is relishing the role of captain.'

And Lazio midfielder Valon Behrami's agent Alessandro Beltram dismissed reports of a move to the Hammers.

Beltrami told Setantasports.com: 'The stories linking Valon with West Ham have no basis on reality.

'He has his heart set playing in the Bundesliga, so therefore England is not a priority for him.'
