West Ham chairman Eggert Magnusson insists the Hammers have made no attempt to prise players from Everton.
Reports this week have linked the London club with a possible bid for England
striker Andrew Johnson, along with midfielders Mikel Arteta and Tim Cahill.
Everton boss David Moyes has already rubbished suggestions that any of his
players could be set to move to Upton Park, and the Hammers' Icelandic owner has
now sought to heal any rift with the Merseysiders by insisting the rumours are
untrue.
Magnusson told his club website: 'I've had a very positive discussion with my
good friend Bill Kenwright, the Everton chairman, and can confirm that West Ham
have not and are not bidding for any Everton player at this time.'
