SLAVEN BILIC has responded to reports suggesting West Ham are interested in Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge.
The Hammers have this week been linked with an £18million move for the England striker.
Sturridge has managed just 17 Premier League outings over the past two seasons due to a number of injury complaints.
And the Brentwood Gazette claim West Ham are ready to take a risk on Sturridge as Reds boss Jurgen Klopp looks to cash in on the 26-year-old.
But while Bilic is an admirer of Sturridge, the Upton Park manager insists there is no truth to the rumours.
“That is only a rumour and there is nothing behind it,” said Bilic when asked about the former Chelsea and Manchester City forward.
“I am not talking about who we want - Daniel Sturridge is a big player and a big name - but that is only paper talk.”
