West Ham slap £25m price tag on Chelsea target Cresswell

West Ham United have no intentions of letting Aaron Cresswell leave the club anytime soon.

The 25-year old left-back, who has flourished in his first season in the Premier League, has emerged as a summer target for Chelsea while Manchester City have also been credited with an interest.

According to The Sun, the Hammers have placed a £25million price tag on Cresswell who has started all 33 league matches for the east London club this term.

Former Ipswich Town star Cresswell signed a five-year deal last summer and says he has no plans to leave Upton Park in the foreseeable future.

"Obviously it's nice to see things like that (being linked with City and Chelsea)," he said.

"But I have four years left on my West Ham contract and I'm very happy down here.

"I don't read into it or look into stuff like that. I just concentrate on doing my best for West Ham.

"I have still got four years left on my contract and it's what I'm enjoying at the minute."
