Demba Ba has played down talk of a return to the Premier League, having been linked with a move back to West Ham.

The former Chelsea striker, who scored seven goals in ten league starts for the Hammers between January and June 2011, is currently playing for Turkish side Besiktas and has netted seven times in 12 appearances in all competitions this season.

He told Turkish-football.com: “I want to thank those who made offers but I am not moving to England or another country, my main focus is Besiktas.

“Players get offers and enquiries from time to time but all I am focused on is winning the league, cup and making the Europa League final. That is all I am thinking about.”
