West Ham United midfielder Valon Behrami insists he remains committed to the club despite seeing a move to Italy fall through.
The Swiss international was strongly linked with a switch to Serie A during the transfer window, but a move failed to materialise.
Behrami admits he only wanted to leave Upton Park because of personal problems, but has now vowed to give his all for the club with the transfer window now being closed.
"I want to try to help everyone here, the people who have helped me with a difficult moment [in my life]. Now we as a team are in a difficult moment and first two years at West Ham. And they will also do that for the third year," Behrami told the Hammers' official website.
"They know I try to give 100 per cent, sometimes it was good, sometimes not - but if we are all together I feel we can do something good this year. I give everything.
"The club knows I had a personal private problem in my life. I tried to go back to Italy to solve this problem. We didn't find the right solution and I am happy to stay here."

Michael Owen: Not the people's choice to partner Wayne Rooney
10:59 GMT
@SoakyDavies on Twitter: Welbeck doesn't have the movement of Hernandez or the intelligence of Berbatov. But Ferguson will probably start him.

Of course, the biggest talking point at Old Trafford will be Patrice Evra and Luis Suarez re-locking horns, with the latter facing United for the first time after receiving an eight game ban for racially abusing the former. Both managers have been outspoken in their defence of their players this week, with Sir Alex Ferguson musing in today's programme notes that his "biggest regret is the way Patrice has been castigated in some quarters for standing up to racism".

As with in the Goal.com towers this week, debate has raged on Twitter as to who Sir Alex Ferguson should pair Wayne Rooney with for today’s showstopper with Liverpool. Chicharito and Danny Welbeck have got their fair share of fans, while Dimitar Berbatov is the romantics’ choice, following his spectacular overhead effort in the corresponding fixture last term. Stoic defenders of Michael Owen seem few and far between though.

Sandwiched between today’s showcase early and late kick-offs – Liverpool’s subplot-ridden trip to Old Trafford and ‘Arry’s return to the hot seat at White Hart Lane – is a set of pretty spicy looking 3pm-ers. Here’s what our Goal.com soothsayers (attending all today’s Premier League games) think will go down.
