West Ham and Everton target, M’Baye Niang has admitted he wants to stay in Italy and improve at AC Milan.
The French forward has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League, with Slaven Bilic’s side touted as a possibility.
West Ham’s search for a striker and taken far and wide, across Europe and even further. Niang was another forward that was seen as an alternative when bids for key targets such as Alexandre Lacazette, Michy Batshuayi who opted for Chelsea and Carlos Bacca all seemingly failed.
Despite failing to live up to his complete potential at the San Siro, Niang revealed he is fully committed to the cause in Italy, ruling out a switch to the Premier League.
Speaking to Italian outlet, La Gazzetta dello Sport, Niang revealed that is was a talk with AC Milan boss, Vincenzo Montella that changed his mind.
“I have never talked about the transfer market and never thought about leaving, I’m a Milan player, I’m happy here and I will stay at Milan. I want to be an important part of this team.
He went on to say:
“From the first day I got back, I have been speaking a lot with the coach. Now I know what I have to do if I am to become a champion.
“I am determined to listen to the coach. I must be good both on the field and off it. I realised the mistakes I’ve made and I must not repeat them.”
