Neill was linked with his old club Blackburn Rovers recently while other media reports said he would be forced to take a pay cut in order to stay at the London club and that the Hammers were keen to get him off the wage bill.

However, the defender told AAP today: "If it's not quoted by myself then you can take it as the fact someone else has manufactured a story.

"The truth of the matter is that the CEO and my agent have already initially talked about wanting to extend my stay at West Ham and when the time is right for all parties I'm confident that it will get done."

The Hammers are enjoying a purple patch at present under boss Gianfranco Zola and Neill appears to be content with the way things are progressing.

He said: "I'm not about to jump ship because I've committed to come here and get West Ham into Europe and we're right on course for that.

"I'm the captain of a team that hasn't lost in seven matches."
