Aston Villa boss Gerard Houllier has warned clubs off winger Stewart Downing.
Sunderland and Liverpool have been chasing Downing since January.
The midfielder has been in fine form for Villa and earned an England recall against Ghana last week when he was chosen as the official man of the match.
When asked if he was looking to keep Downing, Houllier said: "Yes, we will keep him."
