Bilic: Cresswell "really happy" at West Ham

Slaven Bilic has provided a defiant response to recent speculation that linked Aaron Cresswell with a summer move away from West Ham United.

There were suggestions that the 26-year-old's development at Upton Park this season had captured the attention of both Manchester City and Liverpool.

However, Bilic has stressed that the left-back is "really happy" with life in East London.

"Aaron improved defensively and is almost a complete player now. He naturally became of interest to so many good clubs," the West Ham boss told reporters.

"I spoke to him. First, he is under contract and second, and more importantly, he is really happy here and can't wait for the future."

Cresswell joined the Hammers from Ipswich Town for £3.75m in 2014.
