Hammers wide man denies Hull City contact

West Ham midfielder Luis Boa Morte is unaware of reported interest from Hull City, according to his agent. The Portuguese wide man has been strongly linked with a switch to the KC Stadium in the January transfer window, having struggled for regular football at Upton Park. Tigers boss Phil Brown is in the market for a left-sided player and has conceded his admiration for the 31-year-old. Both clubs, however, are insistent that no agreement has been reached. Amadeu Paixao, the former Portugal international's agent, said: "We have read in the newspapers that Hull are interested but we don't know anything about it. This club we do not know.

Speculation

"Nobody has contacted us to allow Hull to talk to us, nothing has been said to us." The Hammers are thought to be keen to offload some of their fringe players to reduce both the wage bill and size of Gianfranco Zola's squad. Boa Morte, who moved to West Ham in a £5million switch from Fulham in 2007, would not appear to be keen to quit the East End. Paixao added: "He has never mentioned that he wants to leave West Ham. He has a house near the training ground, a wife and two kids. He is very happy there."
