Arsenal target Green content at West Ham

West Ham United goalkeeper Robert Green says he is content at the club amidst reports linking him with Arsenal.

The 30-year old England World Cup hopeful has reportedly been targeted by the Gunners who are keen to offer him £6million to move to Emirates Stadium but Green says he is happy where he is.

"I have always stated that I am a happy Hammer," he told the Romford Recorder. "I want to be here and not fighting relegation.

"Realistically that's something that's out of my hands and they (the owners) can say as much as they want to say about it.

"I am sure the two chairmen will take their chance now to decide where they want to take the club and who that might involve.

"There has been a lot of talk and a lot of speculation and I am sure come the start of pre-season, things will be a lot clearer, but that is down to them.

"For me, my job is playing in goal and that is what I focus on. I am a bit too old and long in the tooth to get too focused on things that are out of my control.

"I just sit there and accept what comes along, focus on the 90 minutes every week when it comes along. That is my job and that is what I will carry on doing."
