Valon Behrami is almost certain to remain at West Ham next season.

The Switzerland international's Hammers future has been clouded recently with talks of a move to Palermo but his agent, Alessandro Beltrami, claims that his client will be at Upton Park at least for next term.

"Valon is thinking about the World Cup, his future will be tackled later," Beltrami told tuttomercatoweb.

"West Ham have declared him non-transferable, so I think it is 99 per cent certain he will remain in England.

"Talk of Palermo? That is good because it means the player has done well. However, we are happy that West Ham have made him unavailable for transfer."
