West Brom confirmed today they have turned down a written offer from West Ham of £4million for Scotland international Graham Dorrans.
The 22-year-old midfielder was involved in a controversial incident during the 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace last night that led to Eagles' Neil Danns being sent-off for a headbutt.
Dorrans has been central to Albion's successful promotion to the Premier League and chairman Jeremy Peace is determined not to sell.
Peace said: "As I have stressed several times since we achieved promotion over two weeks ago, our aim now is to retain our core players and try to strengthen our squad around them.
"I want to make it clear again that Graham Dorrans is not for sale."
West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has said he will overhaul his struggling squad this summer with Gianfranco Zola's position as manager still very much in doubt as well.
