Fenerbahce's Ghana international midfielder Stephen Appiah claims that his current employers have wrecked his chances of a move to West Ham this summer.

The 26-year-old was reportedly the subject of a £5million bid from the cash-rich Hammers, but Fener insist that Appiah is going nowhere at the present time.

He told The Sun: "I am very angry about stories saying I want to stay at Fenerbahce indefinitely.

"West Ham have expressed strong interest in me and I think Fenerbahce will have to listen to their offer. It is my ambition to play in the Premier League.

"At the start of last season I turned down offers from top clubs in Europe to help them lift the title because of my love for the team and fans.

"Even while injured I continued to play so they should also take my interest into consideration and listen to West Ham."
