The 30-year-old Algerian international spent the 2009/10 season at Fratton Park after initially joining on loan from Lens the year before.

He enjoyed a successful spell at the club although his last match for Pompey ended in defeat as they lost 1-0 to Chelsea in the 2010 FA Cup final.

The Hammers could face a fight for the Al Sadd defender though with Benfica and Lazio also reported to be interested in his services.

He said:" I am happy to be linked with prestigious clubs, such as Benfica, Lazio and West Ham.

"Benfica have been linked with me before but nothing happened. They are a great club with great tradition and infrastructures.

"West Ham are also a great team with a good reputation and I always enjoy the English league. To be honest, nothing has been decided yet so wait and see."
