West Ham have rejected a bid for Scott Parker from London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.The 29-year-old has continually been linked with a move away from Upton Park this summer but West Ham chairman David Sullivan defiantly claimed the midfielder was not for sale for any price. In a statement posted on the club's official website, Sullivan said: "I made a promise that I would not sell Scott and I will not, for any amount of money, break that promise to the West Ham supporters. "Scott is not for sale at any price, to anyone. West Ham supporters, for far too long, have had owners that sell their best players and promise one thing and do another. "This is a new era. We are building a bigger, better West Ham and when we make a promise, we honour it." The statement confirmed West Ham had informed Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy that the club would not welcome any approach to unsettle Parker. Parker joined the Hammers in 2007 from Newcastle and was instrumental in keeping West Ham up last season.
