West Ham United midfielder Mohamed Diame has moved to draw a line under the speculation linking him with a move away from the club.
Diame has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal recently, with manager Sam Allardyce denying the speculation on Wednesday night.
Now the player himself has admitted that he is happy to stay at West Ham.
"I know there are people out there saying things about me but I have spoken with the manager and told him that I want to stay here," Diame told the club's official website.
"I know the club want to keep me too so I will continue to give my best for them. I knew when I signed that West Ham were going to make their mark on the Premier League
"Since I came here I am enjoying every game I play on the pitch. I think I made a good choice because I'm very happy at this club."
Diame joined the Hammers from Wigan Athletic last summer and has played 18 league games for them.
