Gareth Southgate has confirmed West Ham United made an enquiry for Middlesbrough striker Mark Viduka.
The Australia international is out of contract at the end of the season and is waiting for talks regarding his future.
Boro have recently stated that discussions will start after the close of the transfer window and Southgate is desperate to keep Viduka at The Riverside.
The Boro boss has been delighted with the forward's response to the recent speculation and acknowledged there had been interest from West Ham.
Southgate told the Daily Express: "West Ham was the only firm offer, but we want him to stay, that has never changed.
"I have spoken with Mark and he is very much aware I want him here beyond this season. I don't need to give the reasons why, it is self-explanatory.
"We have to sit down and put something concrete to him. He is thinking about things, he needs to know if we can offer the career progress he wants.
"He has handled the speculation with great maturity. I couldn't be happier with him, not only on the field, but on the training ground.
"We haven't started negotiations, but he is doing his talking on the field and that is fantastic because you want your players to respond that way when there is speculation."
