Matthew Upson remains a West Ham player - despite rumours linking him with a transfer deadline day switch to Tottenham.
Tottenham - who were also rumoured to have made eleventh hour bids for Sunderland's Anton Ferdinand and Manchester City's Richard Dunne - were rumoured to have staged a last-gasp move to take the England defender to White Hart Lane.However KUMB.com has learned that despite the purported interest from North London, the 30-year-old centre half remains a West Ham player - until the next transfer window, at least.
Harry Redknapp, when quizzed about the speculation this evening replied: "I think Daniel [Levy] made some enquiries but that never really got close."
Upson, who joined the Hammers in January 2007 has two years of his current contract left to run but despite offers from West Ham has refused to extend his contract further, leading to speculation that he would move to pastures new during the now-closed summer transfer window.
Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is a known admirer of the former Birmingham and Luton defender and reportedly told Hammers fans in China for the Asia Cup back in July that Upson was one of a number of first team players offered to him during the summer by West Ham.
