West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola has reaffirmed his determination to keep hold of defender Matthew Upson.

Upson has been linked with Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham ahead of the January market.

After yesterday's defeat to Spurs, Zola told TalkSport: No, of course I don't want them to leave. We will see what happens.

"Obviously we will have to assess the situation, we will try to improve the team if we can."
