David Sullivan has admitted that he would be happy to allow Scott Parker to leave on loan for a season.

The Hammers co-chairman, speaking to Sky Sports News this morning admitted that should Chelsea follow up reported interest with an offer to take the England midfielder for the forthcoming season he would be unlikely to stand in their way.

"We've had no approaches from clubs officially, and I've not spoken to Scott myself," said Sullivan. "He's indicated that for his England career he'd like to play in the Premier League but he accepts that if we can't get the right fee, he'll be playing for West Ham in the Championship next season.

'We'd love to do a deal and it's been mooted that we'd loan him out for a substantial fee. That sort of deal would appeal to us because we're not desperate to sell him. He's at the absolute peak of his game at the moment and he'll be an absolute superstar wherever he goes."

Parker has made no secret of his desire to leave the club this summer and has been linked with a string of clubs since the end of last season.
