The Mirror newspaper reported that Reid had told West Ham that he won't be signing a contract extension and that he wants to play for Arsenal.

However BBC sources have said that isn't true, and that the Hammers are confident of holding onto the defender.

Reid has also tweeted that the Mirror story is not true.

The BBC said Arsenal would only move for Reid should they miss out on other targets in January.
