Hammers Eye Wilhelmsson Deal

Former Bolton midfielder Christian Wilhelmsson is looking for a new club, with West Ham thought to be among the possible suitors.

The Sweden international, who has got one year left on his current contract with FC Nantes, has confirmed "many" clubs are interested in signing him.

The Hammers are thought to be among those chasing his signature, but until the interest firms up, he will return to Nantes to train.

Wilhelmsson told Sportbladet: "I will return to France after the weekend.

"It's mostly for my own sake, I want to start training myself. I don't know if it will be Nantes in the future.

"They want to find the best possible solution. There are still many interested clubs who wants to talk."

Wilhelmsson moved from Anderlecht to Nantes in 2006 but failed to establish himself at the Stade de la Beaujoire.

He was loaned out to Italian outfit Roma in January 2007 for the remainder of that season before joining Bolton on a 12-month loan last term.

But he failed to impress new boss Gary Megson and so moved to Spanish outfit Deportivo La Coruna in January this year.

I agree curbishley has no eye for a player. He's good at buying rejects and long term injured players.Always negative . GO BACK TO CHARLTON. thats his level and style of players

I think west ham have enough problems without buying another, lets get some quality for a change not another failure or sick note we have enough of those already! Give the youngsters a chance first before you start wasting money on more one season wonders - worried of essex
