Manchester United, Chelsea and the many suitors of Declan Rice have been warned by West Ham manager David Moyes that the highly-rated midfielder is not for sale.
Various new clubs have been mooted for the England international before another transfer window.
The 22-year-old would not come cheap as a star for the present and future, but the manager at London Stadium has no intention of mulling over any bids after booking a Europa League place for 2021-22.
What has been said?
Moyes told Sky Sports: "I don't think [co-owners] David Sullivan, David Gold or myself have got any intention of losing Declan Rice. We've just qualified for Europe, it's a brilliant achievement. Declan has been a big part of that and we want him to be a big part of what we do next year as well."
The bigger picture
Rice is tied to a contract at West Ham through to 2024, meaning that Moyes' men are under no pressure to sell. They are also showing a home-grown star that they can deliver on his lofty ambitions.
A regular role in the senior England set-up has been nailed down, while continental competition will be on the agenda in east London next season.
Moyes added on wrapping up a top-six finish in the Premier League: "It's a huge achievement from where we came from, to jump this far is absolutely huge. I think there's signs West Ham are beginning to pull together. We walked around the pitch last season having just stayed up and people said that was a success.
"I hope we enjoyed what we felt today, being in a big game that meant something. It's been a tough year in football but overall it's been a good year for us.
"I think the players have been remarkable, we have grown as a team and got better and we are in a really good place at the moment.
"We have to take it on again and keep up the standards we have set. If I have the exact same group of players next season I think we can continue to be successful. I am hoping we can add similar characters to the squad next season."
