West Ham United want to keep hold of Stewart Downing?

West Ham United are reportedly not looking to sell Stewart Downing this summer.

The midfielder has been linked with a move to Sunderland, with their head coach Dick Advocaat said to be keen to bolster his attacking options out wide.

Downing was a key figure for the Hammers last season, with the 30-year-old scoring six goals in 37 appearances.

The former England man has also been linked with a surprise move to boyhood club Middlesbrough.

However, West Ham are not in any rush to sell Downing, according to the Daily Mail.

Downing has made 79 appearances for the East London outfit since joining from Liverpool in 2013.
