"?West Ham manager Slavan Bilic has ruled out a move for former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra in the January transfer window.
Bilic, talking to the Express, said: "Ok, he's[Evra] a great player and all that but in that position we are well covered.
"We are the club that is linked with the most players in Europe, I'm sure of that. Every player that is available, there's always West Ham. 95 per cent of that is not true."
Bilic's comments follow reports that West Ham had been offered Evra on loan until the end of the season, when his current deal expires.
However, West Ham have Aaron Creswell and Arthur Masuaku already in that position. The Croatian has expressed his desires at purchasing a right-back and a striker in the transfer window.
Jermain Defoe is said to be at the top of Bilic's wish list, however it is unlikely the striker would go cheap as he is a key man in Sunderland's fight for survival.

Evra could still be on the move, after the defender admitted he'd be interested in a return to England. Yet the Frenchman's agent insists his client is still happy at Juventus.
"I do have to admit that, like all footballers, he would like to be playing more often," Federico Pastorello told "?juvenews.eu. "I've been receiving a lot of calls, and I don't know where the rumours are coming from, but Patrice is not at all unhappy at Juventus.
"I honestly don't know [about the Premier League interest]. I can only say that there is nothing definite right now about him leaving."
