Cheikhou Kouyate's agent claims he has been inundated with offers for the West Ham midfielder since he led Senegal to next summer's World Cup Finals.

Agent Saffet Balkan - who claims to represent the African star - told turkish-football.com that although he is yet to recieve any firm offers, his client had been the subject of several phone calls following Senegal's 2-1 victory over South Africa.

"We have received a lot of interest," he said. "Interest spiked after Senegal qualified for the World Cup yesterday.

"Several clubs and agents want to hold talks. Both Italian and Premier League scouts have been very impressed.

"However Cheikhou is very happy in England, he’s settled into life. There are no offers on the table at this stage, we will hold talks and consider our options."

Speaking back in June, Kouyate said he was unsure what the future held for him. "Every player dreams of going as high as possible," he told Sen360FR.

"There are certain things that are not said publicly. What counts is that at the resumption [of pre-season training], I will be with West Ham. The rest, I do not control."
