Carlos Bacca has been left out of Milan's travelling squad for their forthcoming US tour, fuelling rumours that he is set to join West Ham.

he 29-year-old striker has been the subject of weeks of speculation regarding a potential move to the Olympic Stadium - a situation that is set to be resolved by the weekend with the Colombian international set to make a final decision on his future.

"Both Bacca and Mattia De Sciglio will spend all of the preparation time on the fields of the Rossoneri's Milanello sports centre, and they will not be part of the squad for the International Champions Cup," read a statement by Milan.

However Milan also insisted that Bacca's omission has nothing to do with any impending move, with the decision to keep him at home in Italy described as "...not because of transfer market reasons."
