West Ham remain locked in talks with youngster Jeremy Ngakia over a short-term extension until at least the end of the season.
The Hammers have until Tuesday to agree a new deal with the 19-year-old, who is poised to become a free agent.
Ngakia has so far rejected contract offers from West Ham - the latest worth around £5,000-a-week - but was handed a start against Wolves as part of a late charm offensive by manager David Moyes.
Moyes appeared resigned to losing Ngakia when speaking to Standard Sport earlier this month, but has not totally given up on a last-minute U-turn from the player.
He said earlier in June: “We are really surprised and disappointed that Jeremy is not going to stay at West Ham.
“We like him a lot, we’ve given him his debut and I’m a manager who has done that many times in my career, including Wayne Rooney, Ross Barkley, Jordan Pickford and others."
He added: “We haven’t given up all hope of Jeremy realising he has got it wrong, but I have to say he has told me directly that it is not his choice to stay.”
