Striker says he walked away from talks

Academica striker Eder has confirmed he pulled out of talks over a move to England with West Ham United. The Guinea-Bissau-born striker, who has also been the subject of interest from Porto and Everton this month, met with Hammers officials over the weekend. However, a deal has failed to materialise after talks between the two parties over a possible loan move. "We had a meeting at the hotel, but I did not like how things were conducted," he told Radio Renaissance. "I thought it was the best thing for my career, so I left." West Ham have since turned their attentions to Genoa's Ze Eduardo.
