David Moyes has remained tight-lipped on West Ham's pursuit of Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
England international Phillips looks set to leave City this month, having not managed a single start in the Premier League all season.
The Hammers and Crystal Palace are interested in a loan deal for the 28-year-old, while Newcastle have also been linked with him.
But Moyes was giving nothing away when quizzed about Phillips on Friday afternoon.
"I wouldn't talk about players from other clubs," he said. "I think it's wrong to talk about players who are at other football clubs so I won't do that, no."
Mikel Arteta insists Emile Smith Rowe is settled at Arsenal amid reported interest from West Ham.
Smith Rowe has endured a frustrating time since he hit 10 goals in the 2021-22 campaign, with groin surgery restricting his role in the club's unsuccessful title challenge last season.
England international Smith Rowe has also struggled with a knee issue this term, but even when he has been fit the 23-year-old has been reduced to cameo appearances with only one Premier League start among 12 outings in all competitions.

West Ham have reportedly made an approach to sign Smith Rowe on loan but Arteta played down talk the academy graduate could leave this month ahead of Saturday's visit of Crystal Palace.
Arteta said: "I'm really happy with Emile. He's in the right trajectory.
"Now, he's settled, he's training really well and you know I'm not going to talk about individual situations.
"Emile is Emile. We know he's got incredible qualities and we're really happy to have him.
"What he needs now is chances to put all the desire and quality that he has on the pitch. In order to do that we have to give him minutes."
Goals have been an issue for Arsenal during this poor seven-match run with only five goals scored in that period, but Arteta reiterated they would not move for a striker in the January transfer window.
"No, because I love the players that we have," he insisted.
Tottenham have allowed injured winger Ivan Perisic to join Hajduk Split on loan for the rest of the season, which will bring his time at the club to an end.
Perisic sustained anterior cruciate ligament damage in September after appearing in Spurs' first six matches of the new campaign under Ange Postecoglou.
The significant knee injury raised doubts over the prospect of Perisic featuring again for Tottenham with his deal set to expire this summer and an agreement has now been reached for the Croatia international to sign for Hajduk on loan.
Perisic progressed through Hajduk's academy after being raised in Split, but never made an appearance for his boyhood club before he moved Sochaux in 2006 and spells with Club Brugge, Borussia Dortmund, Wolfsburg, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and subsequently Spurs followed.
The 34-year-old always stated it was his desire to finish his career with Hadjuk and even if he cannot return to fitness during his loan spell this season, he is expected to sign permanently with the Croatian club in the summer.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have opened talks with Club Brugge over the signing of attacker Antonio Nusa, the PA news agency reports.
Spurs have held a long-standing interest in the 18-year-old and have moved to secure the services of the highly-rated Norway international this month.
The potential recruitment of Nusa would be Tottenham's third addition of the January transfer window, but he would return to Club Brugge on loan for the remainder of the campaign.
Nusa has built up a strong reputation since he made his Norwegian top-flight debut at the age of 16 in 2021 while at Stabaek.
He moved to Club Brugge later that year and hit the headlines when he scored on his Champions League debut against Porto.
Tottenham have continued to keep tabs on Nusa, who marked his full Norway debut in September with a goal against Jordan.
Sheffield United's loan swoop for Mason Holgate has collapsed after Everton's last-minute demand for a bigger fee.
The Toffees wanted the Blades to pay £250,000 (€291k) after it was agreed the defender's loan at Southampton would be cancelled and he would move to Bramall Lane, it is understood.
United had also agreed to cover a portion of the 27-year-old's wages but fourth-bottom Everton wanted a late payment as the Blades are Premier League relegation rivals.
It saw the deal fall through - despite Holgate travelling to Yorkshire for a medical - and it remains to be seen if the move can be resurrected.
He remains at St Mary's, although Southampton are open to cancelling his loan this month.
Holgate has only made six appearances for the Saints this season and has not featured in the Sky Bet Championship since October, with Russell Martin's side on a record-equalling 20-game unbeaten run in all competitions.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is unaware of any concrete interest in Matt O'Riley after another club were linked with the midfielder.
Reports claim Spanish league leaders Girona are considering making a move for the Denmark international ahead of the transfer deadline.
Rodgers said: "I'm not aware of any (interest). But it's natural, if you've got good players then of course they will attract attention. But I'm not focused on that at all.
"We don't want to be losing any (of our best players). The plan was to add to the squad and that's still the plan."
