Everton, Southampton and West Ham have all been linked with the defender.

Hull City boss Harry Maguire has been linked with several clubs in recent days, but is not leaving according to the Tigers boss Marco Silva.

The centre-back has been one of the stand out players for Hull this season and has caught the eye with his displays.

The Sun recently linked him with a move to Everton and Southampton and then went on to suggest that West Ham are ready to make a £9 million bid for the player.

The talented defender will however be going nowhere, according to the Portuguese coach. He was speaking after the 4-1 defeat against Fulham in the FA Cup. The Hull Daily Mail report him as stating any Maguire exit as ‘impossible’:

“There is nothing in that, it is impossible that Maguire leaves the club, it is impossible.

“The number is not important, but we need more than 2 or 3 players. We need to spend money to buy the players, so we’ll see what happens.”

Hull have already lost two key players in the form of Robert Snodgrass and Jake Livermore this month and would not be willing to lose Maguire.

Southampton are looking for a replacement for Jose Fonte who joined West Ham this month. The Hammers want another midfielder who can play in a three-man defence. Everton meanwhile need another defender after the poor form of Phil Jagielka this season.
