Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) international Arthur Masuaku has dismissed reports linking him with a move away from West Ham United.

The defender, who joined the English Premier League side from Greek giants Olympiacos in August, 2016, is reportedly not short of admirers according to the latest reports.

However, Masuaku has since opened up about reports linking him with Italian clubs Juventus, Napoli and Genoa,

The 24-year-old, who has made six league appearances for the Hammers this season, took to Twitter to clear the air.

“In order to avoid any misunderstandings I’d like to stress out that neither me or my agent (Panos Galariotis) know mr. from Italy,” Masuaku tweeted.

“So everything that is published is completely false, I’m only focused on helping my team achieve its goals.”

The former French youth international will be hoping to feature for West Ham when they face Watford on Sunday in a league match.

He was an unused substitute as the Hammers lost 4-1 to Liverpool FC in their previous league match two weeks ago.
