Valon Behrami's agent says the coveted West Ham star is staying put at Upton Park until next summer at least.

The Swiss international's performances for the Hammers since his £5million move from Lazio last year have alerted several clubs, with Arsenal, AC Milan, Juventus and Roma thought to among sides keeping tabs on him.

But the 24-year-old's agent Alessandro Beltrami insists his client wants to stay at Upton Park until next summer at least so as not to jeopardise his place in the Swiss squad for next summer's World Cup finals.

Beltrami said: "It is possible for him to move after the World Cup next year but not before then.

"He doesn't want anything to affect his place in the Switzerland squad."
