Big disappointment for Hammers fans and other transfer gossip

Disappointment for West Ham fans – Bayern Munich striker Luca Toni claims the only move he will make is back to Serie A. The Italian international has been strongly linked with a move to the Hammers to join up with their manager Gianfranco Zola. But in what will come as disappointment to the East London club’s loyal fans, the World Cup winner is instead eyeing a move to Roma. Elsewhere, Arsenal are considering splashing out on Bordeaux's Moroccan international striker Marouane Chamakh; Manchester United and City are set to fight it out for the services of £12m-rated Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini; Portsmouth goalkeeper David James is "flattered" by the interest of Tottenham and would be keen on a move to boost his World Cup chances; and Liverpool are tracking former Lazio striker Goran Pandev on a free transfer next month.
