West Ham will not entertain offers for Crysencio Summerville if they retain their top-flight status, according to reports.
There has been speculation that the Hammers will be forced into selling key stars, no matter what division they are playing in next season, due to a financial black hole.

However, TEAMtalk claim that sources close to the club have told them that West Ham have “no intention” of offloading Summerville if they survive relegation, even with up to nine teams pursuing the winger.
The Dutchman’s goal against Fulham last week moved Nuno Espirito Santo’s side level on points with Nottingham Forest in 17th place.
Which teams are keeping tabs on Summerville?
Tottenham are said to have retained an interest in the 24-year-old, having been first linked with the player in January. Of course, they are also very much in danger of relegation, so they would only make an offer if they stay up (and the Irons go down).
Four other Premier League sides (Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brentford and Everton) are also said to be keen on Summerville, while four clubs on the continent (Serie A champions Napoli, Atalanta, Marseille and Villarreal) are tracking him as well.
The forward has been in outstanding form for West Ham
After struggling for the most part during his first 18 months at the club, Summerville’s goal against Tottenham in January has triggered a purple patch.
He has found the back of the net 7 times in his last 10 appearances (prior to the FA Cup tie versus Brentford on Monday night). Buy a Summerville West Ham kit from UK Soccer Shop here.
West Ham really needed someone to take the weight off captain Jarrod Bowen to score goals, and Summerville has stepped up to the plate at the right time. Speaking about the player after the Fulham win, Alan Shearer said:
“Summerville has had an incredible time as well in front of goal. What a difference he’s made, his form.”
