Appiah in town

Stephen Appiah has once again been linked with a move to West Ham United.

The midfielder, 28 next month, is in London today with the Ghanaian national squad as they prepare to face Senegal at Millwall's New Den stadium tonight in a friendly.

And despire currently carrying an injury which should rule him out of the game, Appiah has travelled to London with the team - fuelling rumours that he is set for talks with the Hammers, with whom he was first linked at the start of the transfer window.

The link resurfaced in some of this morning's papers after Appiah's proposed move from current club Fenerbahce to German outfit FC Schalke fell through at the weekend.

And with the Hammers said to be monitoring the situation, some sources are suggesting that a deal may yet be struck - although the Irons are stiil to confirm any concrete interest in the player.
