From Turin: Mertens rejects West Ham offer to stay with Napoli till summer
The Belgium international is in the final year of his contract with the Naples-based club and it is looking highly unlikely that he will be rewarded with a contract extension in the near future.
As per the latest report, Mertens has rejected an offer from West Ham for a January move as the player is eager to honour his contract with Napoli and leave in the summer as a free-agent.
The report further stated that one of the reasons for Mertens’ rejection of the offer is to overtake Hamsik and become the leading goal scorer of all-time for Napoli.
Mertens has been at the club since the summer of 2013 when he moved from Dutch club PSV Eindhoven for a reported transfer fee of €9.5 million.
