English Premier League side West Ham have confirmed they are in talks about a potential loan deal for Inter Milan's out-of-favour Brazilian striker Adriano.

A statement by the Hammers said: "The possible deal is in its early stages and money has not yet been discussed.

"We are investigating the possibility of a loan deal at this stage."

Adriano, 25, has slipped down the pecking order at Inter and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed he rejected a chance to take him on loan.

The Brazilian has scored 25 goals in 37 games for his country but has suffered a loss of form amid a succession of injuries and doubts over his commitment.
