Popular journalist and transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, has claimed that Barcelona left-back Junior Firpo is expected to stay at the Spanish club this month.

Firpo has been linked with a move away from the Catalan club, with Premier League outfit West Ham United keen to secure his signature.

According to a recent report from ESPN, the Hammers have earmarked the Barcelona left-back as manager David Moyes looking to bolster his defence this month.

It was claimed that the 24-year-old is keen to leave the club after struggling for regular games this season.

Serie A giants AC Milan have shown a keen interest in securing his services and have made a loan approach. Romano has claimed that there’s ‘nothing advanced between’ the two clubs at the moment and the Spanish left-back is now expected to stay at the club.
