The agent of Antonio Candreva has denied reports linking the Italian midfielder with a move to West Ham.
The English media claimed Hammers coach Gianfranco Zola is keen to lure the 22-year-old Livorno player to Upton Park.
However, Candreva's agent Andrea Moretti told TuttoPremier.it: "There has been no contact.
"It's true that Zola knows Antonio well having coached him in the Italy Under-21 squad, but to infer from this that we are in negotiations, is a long way away."
Candreva has made 33 appearances for Livorno since joining the Amaranto outfit on loan from Udinese in the summer of 2008.
