Oddo reveals West Ham link

25 August 2009 09:22
AC Milan right-back Massimo Oddo claims West Ham have expressed an interest in taking him to Upton Park. Oddo spent last season on loan at Bayern Munich after struggling to hold down a regular place under former coach Carlo Ancelotti. The inquiry from West Ham, and their Italian manager Gianfranco Zola, has come from a third party rather than the club itself but Oddo is willing to consider any permanent move. The 33-year-old said: "The latest interest I received is from West Ham which has yet to be formalised as I was contacted by an agent and not by a club executive. I have already had an experience on loan, which is not ideal for a player. "Hence, I don't want to go away and then come back to the same conditions as I was in the previous year. I have to look not only at my interests but that of my family. "To go away for a year with young children and face a new culture doesn't seem the ideal situation."
