West Ham are ineterested in signing Portuguese midfielder Tiago Mendes from Juventus according to reports over the weekend.

Mendes moved from Lyon to Juventus last summer for a fee of £9.5 million but the former Chelsea star has struggled to settle in Italy.

Mendes told the Sunday Mirror:

"I thought it would be a great move, but it's not been easy"

West Ham are not alone in their interest in Mendes and could face competition for his signature from London rivals Tottenham.
