Spurs bid for Parker

Wednesday, 28/07/2010

West Ham have revealed that they have turned down a bid from London rivals Tottenham for captain Scott Parker.

Harry Redknapp, looking to bolster his squad for their Champions League campaign, returned to his former club to try and prise their star man away, only to be told that the Hammers were not interested at selling... at any price!

But Irons chairman David Sullivan reiterated the club's stance on the midfielder: "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."

Parker has three years remaining on his contract at Upton Park, and the club revealed on their website that they are hoping to extend that by a further two years.

* What do you think? Would Parker be tempted by Champions League football?
