West Ham boss Allardyce studying loan market today

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce admits he'll be studying the loan market today.

Allardyce admits Ricardo Vaz Te's transfer demand has forced a change in his thinking.

He told whufc.com: "We have a list of targets but more loan players than permanent deals at this stage. It's not difficult to bring a player in if you have funds, but it's difficult to bring the right player in. That's the ultimate test for us - if we bring one in at this stage, are we bringing him in because the window is closing when deep down we know he's not quite good enough? I saw a lot of that happening at this stage, but we want to avoid that if we can.

"If there is a top player who wants to come and join us, then that would be very good."
