West Ham boss David Moyes admits he wants Craig Dawson to stay.
Moyes also suggested there could be more business done at the club in the next couple of days.
On whether he would let Dawson, a target for Aston Villa, leave, Moyes said: “Ideally we wouldn't, but it's probably a much more complicated situation."
He added: “I wouldn't completely say no (to more business), but it might not be yes either.
"It may not be some people coming in, but may be some going out."
