Anton wants Hammers stay

Anton Ferdinand has rejected talk of an imminent summer departure to London rivals Tottenham, by instead suggesting that he would prefer to stay at West Ham for the forseeable future.

"I'm happy at this club, and until I get told I'm not a West Ham player, I will be a West Ham player,” Ferdinand told BBC London.

"I've grown up at the club and I enjoy playing here.

"Should it happen that I leave West Ham, I know I'd be able to go with my head held high."
