West Ham United midfielder Edson Alvarez has failed to take the opportunity to rule out a potential transfer to AC Milan after being asked about recent rumours.
The Mexico international was seen as an exciting signing for the Hammers when he first joined from Ajax, but it’s probably fair to say that some fans wouldn’t be totally against seeing him sold if the money was right.
Alvarez was perhaps asked about his West Ham future following a recent report from MilanLive.it, which claimed Milan were keen on a potential swap deal for the player, involving former Chelsea ace Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Alvarez could well be tempted to make the step up to a big club like Milan, with the 26-year-old perhaps likely to fare better in the slower pace of the Italian game than he has in the Premier League.
When asked about his future by TV Azteca Deportes, Alvarez said: “Let’s see, if you are in this environment, rumours will exist, both for you and for us. And well, I think that, as they said, it means that you are doing things well, that they are turning their attention to you,” he said.
“I just use it to my advantage. In the sense of continuing to do what I am doing, trying to improve and well, increase my confidence.”
