Newcastle United midfielder Scott Parker has rubbished talk of a transfer window switch to West Ham.

The Magpies captain has continually been linked with a move to Upton Park where he would link up with Alan Curbishley - who managed the England man while the pair were together at Charlton Athletic.

But Parker insists he is happy on Tyneside after his £6.5million move from Chelsea 18 months ago.

"I don't really know where all this transfer talk has come from. I am very happy here at St James' Park," he told the Newcastle Chronicle.

"My family have all moved up here and I am more than happy at Newcastle.

"This is where I want to play my football."
