West Ham United midfielder Valon Behrami admits he was dejected after missing out on a move to Italian club AS Roma.

The 25-year old Switzerland international was being linked with a move to Rome during the summer but a move failed to eventuate.

He has admitted to being disappointed on not securing shift to the Serie A but insists he will continue to work hard for West Ham.

"I am disappointed the deal failed to go through - that is for certain," Behrami told The Sun.

“This club has given me a lot of things and helped me when I was injured.

"I never want it to look like I want to leave because it is difficult. The club knows I had a personal private problem in my life. I tried to go back to Italy to solve this problem. We didn't find the right solution and I am happy to stay here.

"I never tried to move to any other club in England or Germany or wherever. I am here and I will give 100 per cent for this club and the supporters.

"In the last three weeks, the manager and the chairman have both helped me a lot because they understood the situation. Of course in football, there is the business side as well. We didn't find the right solution for the club and for me."
