West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has told Aston Villa to forget about signing midfielder Scott Parker ahead of the new season.

The Midlands club are reported to have made a tentative enquiry should they be forced to sign a new midfielder if Manchester City transfer target James Milner leaves Villa Park this summer.

However, Sullivan claims that Villa would not have enough financial muscle to persuade him to sell the 29-year-old England international.

Parker was one of few Hammers players who impressed during a difficult last season which almost ended in relegation from the Premier League.

"The situation with Parker has not changed," said Sullivan. "Villa will not have enough money to tempt us to sell Scott.

"He really is not for sale."
