Eder: Pulled out of talks with West Ham

Academica striker Eder has confirmed he pulled out of talks over a move to England with West Ham United.

The Guinea-Bissau-born striker, who has also been the subject of interest from Porto and Everton this month, met with Hammers officials over the weekend.

However, a deal has failed to materialise after talks between the two parties over a possible loan move.

"We had a meeting at the hotel, but I did not like how things were conducted," he told Radio Renaissance.

"I thought it was the best thing for my career, so I left."

West Ham have since turned their attentions to Genoa's Ze Eduardo.
