West Ham winger Valon Behrami has expressed his disappointment at still being at Upton Park.
The 25-year-old Switzerland international, who joined the Hammers from Lazio two years ago, agreed terms with Roma earlier this summer.
But his proposed move fell through when the Italian side could not raise funds for a deal.
And Behrami told The Sun: “I am disappointed the deal failed to go through – that is for certain.
“Avram Grant gave me his permission to speak with Roma. But he also said he needs me, with West Ham bottom of the table. I’m sure I’ll still get to play for them.”
