West Ham United are demanding Matthew Upson sign a new contract.
The Mirror says Upson has been told to sign a new deal - or be sold.
Upson, 30, has just 18 months left on his £60,000-a-week contract and West Ham’s new owners David Gold and David Sullivan do not want him running down his contract and leaving on a free transfer.
England defender Upson has insisted he is committed to West Ham despite interest from Manchester City and Tottenham but Gold and Sullivan are anxious to discover his intentions in case any last minute offers come in.
