Zola rules out Upson sale
Gianfranco Zola insists West Ham are still looking to strengthen their squad, not deplete it.
Reports continue to suggest that highly-rated centre-half Matthew Upson could be on the move before the transfer window slams shut.
Manchester City, Arsenal and Aston Villa have all been linked with a move for the England international at some stage.
No formal approach has been lodged, but that has done little to stop the ongoing rumours.
Upson himself has admitted that he would be willing to move on in order to ease the financial difficulties currently being experienced by the Hammers.
Zola, though, claims he is under no pressure to sell and has instead signalled his intention to bring further fresh faces on board before the end of the month.
"As far as I'm concerned, we're looking to buy players not sell them," said the Italian tactician in the Daily Mirror following West Ham's 2-0 victory at Wolves on Saturday.
"We've had no offers for Matthew and want to keep him.
"I think he's enjoying his football and looking forward to this season as it's going to be vital for his career."
