Sam Allardyce  is still keen to bring in three or four new players despite the club’s busy summer.

The Irons boss – talking to West Ham TV– admits everything depends on the budget.

But he said: “You would say there is still room for a young central defender, particularly a left-footed one because we do run with three and not four.

“Ideally, you would have four.”  You would also say we need another left-back to go along with Aaron and I think a front-line player and the possibility of a midfield player as well.”
