Mark Noble has called for a decision regarding Sam Allardyce's future as West Ham United manager to be "sorted" in the next couple of weeks.

The 60-year-old will come to the end of his current contract in the summer, but widespread reports have suggested that Allardyce will leave his position.

Slaven Bilic, David Moyes and Rafael Benitez have been linked with a switch to Upton Park, and Noble believes that it is best for Allardyce's future to be resolved sooner rather than later.

"As players we don't know what goes on in the background between the manager and the chairman," FourFourTwo magazine quotes Noble as saying.

"Obviously the manager has done very well in the last three years, got promoted and finished as a firm Premier League team since. I'm pretty sure the chairman and manager will sit down and have a chat in the next couple of weeks and hopefully we can get everything sorted."

The Hammers are currently 11th in the Premier League table with just one game left to play.
