Out-of-favour Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas will not make a deadline day move to West Ham, or any team, according to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol.
Twitter: Told no chance of West Ham signing Cesc Fabregas today. He’s happy at Chelsea. AC Milan, Inter Milan & Juventus all interested (@SkyKaveh)
Fabregas has been linked with a move to the London Stadium after failing to hold down a place in the starting line-up at Chelsea under Antonio Conte, but there is ‘no chance’ that the Spaniard is leaving the Blues before the 11 pm deadline as he is ‘happy’ at the club.
West Ham are looking to add more creativity to their team, having already signed Robert Snodgrass from Hull this month, after playmaker Dimitri Payet forced through a return to former club Marseille.
The Hammers were not the only team interested in acquiring Fabregas’ services for the second half of the season, with Serie A trio AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus also looking into the possibility of bringing the 29-year-old in on loan.
The news comes shortly after it was revealed that West Ham had also pulled out of the race to sign Brentford striker Scott Hogan, who has been on Slaven Bilic’s radar for the whole of the transfer window.
