Allardyce targets two more attacking signings for West Ham

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has told supporters he still hopes to sign an attacking midfielder and another striker before the transfer window closes at the end of August.

Allardyce was speaking at a fans' forum at the Circus Tavern on Tuesday night and revealed that he is still hoping to bring in two more signings to give his side more quality in front of goal.

He has already been busy in the market this summer signing Mauro Zarate, Cheikhou Kouyate, Diego Poyet, Aaron Cresswell, Carl Jenkinson and Enner Valencia.

With club record signing Andy Carroll ruled out for four months with ankle ligament damage, the Hammers boss is determined to sign another forward and made an unsuccessful £4m bid to sign Connor Wickham from Sunderland.

Former West Brom midfielder Morgan Amalfitano has also been strongly linked with a move to Upton Park and as talkSPORT told you on Tuesday, that deal could be finalised in the next 24 hours.
