West Ham United chairman David Gold has ruled out selling defender James Tomkins in the January transfer window.

Following the Hammers relegation from the Premier League, Tomkins has been an impressive figure in the Irons’ defence and has reportedly attracted the interest of Queens Park Rangers.

But Gold is determined to keep the 22-year-old as West Ham look to make an immediate return to England’s top flight.

“He's not for sale for £3m," Gold told SkySports. "Nobody is up for sale.

"There is no plan to sell our good young players. We must do all we can to keep our best players. Our goal is promotion."
