Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez has said that it will take a "fantastic offer" to prise Daryl Janmaat away from St James' Park this summer.
The Dutch full-back has been left out of the starting XI for the past two matches and did not even make the squad for the weekend win over Bristol City.
West Ham United and Watford have since been linked with the 27-year-old, but Benitez hinted that the club are unwilling to sell him having already lost Andros Townsend and Georginio Wijnaldum.
"I told him the other day that the fact he's here means he's a player I like. He's a good professional and I don't have any problems with that," he told reporters.
"If somebody comes with a fantastic offer to us for him, we will analyse that. For the moment he is a player who is in our team and squad and I don't have any problems to play him if necessary."
Newcastle are thought to have placed an asking price of around £10m on Janmaat.
