Allardyce insists West Ham do not need new striker signing

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce insists he doesn't need to buy a new striker.

The Hammers have already signed strikers Diafra Sakho and Enner Valencia this summer, and been offered Sassuolo striker Leonardo Pavoletti, but look short defensively.

"There's no search for any more strikers from my point of view, the difficulty is at the other end," he said.

"We're without James Collins because of suspension and we could be without James Tomkins because of injury.

"We're looking at players who are able to play in that position [centre back] throughout Europe."
