Home England Behrami to focus on West Ham

Behrami to focus on West Ham

Behrami came close to joining Italian side Roma this summer and the midfielder admits he is disappointed to have missed out on a move.

“I am disappointed the deal failed to go through – that is for certain,” Behrami said in 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.”
