West ham United captain Nigel Reo-Coker claims he doesn't know where his future lies after handing in a transfer request.
The England Under-21 international has decided to leave Upton Park after three-and-half-years at the club claiming he doesn't feel wanted.
Reo-Coker has been linked with a move to Newcastle United in a swap deal with West ham transfer target Scott Parker, but the 23-year-old midfielder insists he is in the dark over any potential move.
"I don't think I have been supported at the club," he told Sky Sports News.
"There has been a lot of negative press which was very hurtful - I was proud to be at West ham regardless of what was in the press.
"I thought I should be with the club and I enjoyed my time there, so it's very disappointing and heartbreaking to see I'm not wanted."
Referring to any impending move, he added: "There's no progress. I don't know where my future lies.
"I don't pay attention to the clubs I am being linked with.
"It's just about being professional and concentrating on the Under-21s (UEFA European Championships this summer in the Netherlands).
"I've always been a team player and that's one of the things I believe in.
"It's very sad, to leave a club under these circumstances, but it's part of football and part of life."
