Valon Behrami will not leave West Ham in the winter transfer window, according to club sporting director Gianluca Nani.

The Switzerland international, who joined the London outfit from Lazio in 2008, has been linked with a move to Juventus in January.

However, the Hammers are adamant they will not be selling the 24-year-old midfielder.

"I want to reiterate that we have no intention nor do we have the need to sell any of our top players," said Nani in an interview to Italian radio station Radio Tau.

"Everything is good as it is and that also goes for Behrami, a great player that will remain here."

Behrami is under contract with West Ham until June 2013.
