WEST HAM co-owner David Gold has told Arsenal and Manchester United that Winston Reid is not for sale.

Winston Reid has attracted interest from the top sides

The New Zealand international has piqued the interest of a host of top clubs including Liverpool too.

United are currently in the grip of a defensive crisis, with the likes of Phil Jones and Jonny Evans out of action.

Arsenal in the meantime are making buying a defender a priority, especially with Laurent Koscielny and Mathieu Debuchy on the sidelines.

But Gold has quashed transfer talk surrounding Reid during a Twitter Q&A with Hammers supporters.

hen asked by a fan whether or not they would be getting rid of Reid, Gold tweeted: "We are not 'getting rid' of WR.

"We want him to stay and sign a new, contract. dg."

Reid joined West Ham from Danish outfit FC Midtjylland in 2010.
