WEST HAM target Stephen Appiah admits it would be a 'dream' to play in the Premier League.

The Hammers have confirmed that they are in talks with the Ghana skipper about a possible move to Upton Park.

The 27-year-old is able to move after the transfer deadline because he is a free agent after negotiating his exit from Turkish giants Fernabache.

Appiah has attracted the interest of clubs from across Europe, including the Hammers Premier League rivals Arsenal and Portsmouth and the player's former club Juventus.

Appiah revealed that he has had contact with a number of talks, but is remaining tight-lipped about his future.

"There have been talks with some clubs, although I cant say anything yet," Appiah told skysports.com.

"However, with the help of God I will realise my dream of playing in the Premier League."
