West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola insists he won't be forced to sell his best players in January.

"The situation hasn't changed even though it seems there is a story about this every day. I have been assured that the club hasn't got any problems," he said.

"I am going to be working with my players and focusing on helping them to play as best as they can.

"We will have a big squad when we have everybody back from injury so I may need to sell some players because not every one will get a game but I don't have concerns.

"My job is to work with this team and improve it. For this year everything I need is in this squad."
