West Ham manager David Moyes says he wants to build his team around England midfielder Declan Rice.
Rice, 22, plays his 150th Premier League game for the Hammers when they visit Crystal Palace on New Year's Day.
This season Rice has built on his Euro 2020 performances, attracting England's leading clubs, but his contract runs to 2024, with the option of another year.
"Declan's under a long contract so from that point of view we've not got a big panic on," said Moyes.
"We've no intention of selling him and I've said already many, many times, if we ever had to, it would be a shoot to the moon.
"My job is to keep building the club and the level up. We need players around Declan who are at a similar level. He has been a revelation for us this season and hopefully he keeps driving the team on."
