West Ham United are weighing up recalling Freddie Sears from his loan at Crystal Palace.

The Guardian says the club has no established Premier League forwards available for selection. Against Everton, manager Gianfranco Zola was forced to select Zavon Hines - for what was the 20-year-old's 10th league outing - to partner Guillermo Franco, who made only his fifth appearance.

It is unclear when Sears can be recalled from his loan at Crystal Palace, should Zola decide he requires the 19-year-old.
