WEST HAM co-chairman David Sullivan has warned Tottenham not to unsettle their star midfielder, after the north Londoners made a cheeky bid for Scott Parker.
Despite being told that an offer for the player would not be welcome, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy made a bid reputed to be around £8million, which was immediately rejected.
Sullivan said: "I made a promise that I would not sell Scott and I will not, for any amount of money, break that promise to the West Ham supporters.
"Scott is not for sale at any price, to anyone. West Ham supporters, for far too long, have had owners that sell their best players and promise one thing and do another.
"This is a new era. We are building a bigger, better West Ham and when we make a promise, we honour it."
Parker, who still has three years to run on his contract, will be offered a two-year extension, but the future of some of the other players in the West Ham squad is less certain.
Valon Behrami is still being linked with Roma and would welcome a return to Italy, while Alessandro Diamanti and Radoslav Kovac are both likely to be surplus to requirements.
