Premier League: Ashton in talks plea with Hammers


Published on Sunday 11 May 2008 09:35

Dean Ashton has revealed he is growing concerned over his future due to the lack of dialogue with West Ham.

Manchester United are rumoured to be ready to test the Hammers' resolve to keep Ashton by tabling an 8m bid for the England prospect this summer.

Portsmouth and Newcastle are also reported to be interested in the 24-year-old, who returned this season after a year out spent recovering from a broken ankle.

Hammers boss Alan Curbishley is meeting with the board today to review the season and discuss plans for the transfer window.

Curbishley is determined to keep Ashton and after yesterday's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa denied that he is under pressure to slash the wage bill.

But a big offer could tempt the board to sell and Ashton is seeking reassurances over his future with two years left on his contract.

"As far as I know I'll be at West Ham. The only worry is that the club haven't spoken to me yet so I don't know where I stand," he said.

"Obviously I'd like to speak to the club about my future. I'd just like to know where my future lies.

"Obviously I had to prove myself after spending so long out injured and I feel I've done that now.

"West Ham is the team I play for. I want to talk to the club because I've really enjoyed myself here and that's all I'm really thinking about."
