Former West Ham skipper Matt Upson has been dealt a shocking blow as his agent has informed him that there is currently no Premier League interest in him following his departure from the East London club. Just 12 months ago, Upson was playing in the World Cup for England, but his stock has dipped so dramatically that even low-ranking clubs such as Wigan and Blackburn have declined to make any approach for the 32 year-old.
Upson could now be forced to take a drastic cut in salary and join his former club Birmingham City, who are expecting to lose at least one of their coveted centre-half partnership of Roger Johnson and Scott Dann. Intriguingly, another former England free agent, Lee Bowyer, could be set to make the return journey for a third spell at Upton Park, as contract talks with another of his old clubs, Leeds United, have stalled.
