Parker was the subject of a £7million bid from Tottenham on Wednesday, but the bid was immediately knocked back by the Hammers.

But that seems to have unsettled the player, who we understand would jump at trhe chance to join Spurs.

Grant: "From my side there is no news.

"We have ambitions at this club, we want to progress and we want to go forward. We have a plan for the next few years, not only for one year, and Scott Parker is a big part of these plans.

"I am happy for him. He is a good player and he is a good lad. He is good for the vision of the club.

"He is professional. He knows that he is a very important part of our ambitions to progress and to be a very good team."
