African keen on Prem return

Former Manchester United man Eric Djemba-Djemba claims West Ham are interested in bringing him back to England. The Cameroon midfielder endured a difficult time in England, failing to meet expectations at Manchester United and Aston Villa. Djemba-Djemba arrived at Manchester United in the summer of 2003 in a £3.5million deal from Nantes with a big reputation, but he failed to hit the heights at Old Trafford. He moved onto Aston Villa in 2005, but after failing to establish himself in the first-team he had his contract terminated after two years at Villa Park. Djemba-Djemba has got his career back on track at Danish side Odense and reports suggest West Ham are keeping tabs on him. The 27-year-old admits he would be interested in a move back to England as he feels he has a point to prove. "I am having a good season. I lost my way a bit when I signed for Manchester United," Djemba-Djemba told skysports.com. "However, I am a good player, you don't play alongside Roy Keane and Paul Scholes if you are a bad player. "I heard West Ham is interested and that means I am having a good season. "I have unfinished business with the Premier League, so who knows? "It would be good to go back there and prove myself."
