CHAIRMAN Jeff Mostyn insisted Cherries do not want to sell any of their stars in the summer.
Reports in recent months have linked both Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson with moves away from Vitality Stadium.
Last week, the Mirror claimed Scotland international Fraser was a target for Arsenal, while in January several national newspapers suggested Chelsea had been interested in frontman Wilson. Discussing the transfer speculation, Mostyn told Sky Sports News: "Ryan Fraser is a Bournemouth player. Callum Wilson is a Bournemouth player.
"We just don't want anybody to leave the football club. Your prized assets are prized assets for a reason and we want to continue the momentum that we have achieved.
"Four consecutive seasons in the Premier League. We are going to start our next season, which will be our fifth year, we want our very best players to be playing for our football club."
Former Aberdeen talent Fraser's current contract with the Dorset club expires in the summer of 2020.
Responding to questions from the Daily Echo last week, Cherries boss Eddie Howe said talks had been held with the winger over securing a new contract.
Quizzed on Fraser's contract situation by Sky Sports News, Mostyn said: "We will talk to Ryan. It is very early days yet and we will do the best for Ryan as we always have for all of our players.
"At the end of the day, contracts are (what they are). People sign long-term contracts and will still leave but, as far as I'm concerned, I follow Eddie Howe's mantra – we never talk about transfers and I just follow my manager's example."
