Bosnian World Cup star Vedad Ibisevic admits he was disappointed not to secure a move to West Ham during the summer transfer window.

30-year-old Ibisevic was the target of a multi-million pound bid by West Ham last month, but the offer was rejected by his current club Stuttgart. Yet despite failing to secure a move away from the Mercedes-Benz Arena, Ibisevic believes that his future probably lies elsewhere.

"I stayed but you never know - if a good offer comes in, I may leave," he said.

"Vahid Halilhodzic and Trabzonspor contacted me and offered me great conditions. West Ham also wanted me, but Stuttgart did not want to sell this summer.

"The club has made some changes and the goal is a mid-table position. I have bigger ambitions so that is why I say I may yet leave."

Ibisevic secured his place in history when scoring against Argentina during the summer's World Cup Finals. It was Bosnia's first ever goal at the Finals since becoming independent from Yugoslavia in 1993.
