Carlos Bacca "happy" at AC Milan

AC Milan forward Carlos Bacca insists that he is not looking to leave his Italian club this summer despite a whole host of speculation.

Colombian forward Carlos Bacca has insisted that he is "happy" at AC Milan, despite a summer of speculation linking the striker with a move away from San Siro.

West Ham United are among the clubs that have been credited with an interest in the 29-year-old, who scored 20 times in 42 appearances for Milan last season.

However, Bacca has said that he wants to stay with the Italian outfit until they have 'returned to the top of European football', effectively ruling out a move away in this transfer window.

"A lot has been said, clubs being interested in me or making offers for me," Bacca told Milan TV. "The truth is that I had not taken any decision. I'm happy here with the group, working and trying to prepare myself for the first game in the best way I can.

"I'm very confident for the upcoming season, with a coach who likes to play with the ball and play with purpose. I like that, because this way I could get two or three chances a game.

"Europe? It's one of the reasons I came, because I thought I was going to a team that could play in the Champions League. But then I think about it with a cool head, and when I decided to leave Sevilla it was because I wanted to bring Milan back to the top and I won't leave until I've done that."

Bacca scored 49 times in 108 appearances for Sevilla before joining Milan before the start of last season.
