Sam Allardyce: 'I've spent my transfer budget'

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has ruled out adding to his squad before the end of the transfer window.

The Hammers have been linked with a move for a new striker, but Allardyce has insisted that he has already spent his budget for the summer.

The 58-year-old told reporters: "It always happens at this time of year – it's just agents getting busy.

"I've got no more money left, so the squad that I've got is the squad that I've got."

West Ham have made five additions during the summer, including signing Liverpool duo Andy Carroll and Stewart Downing.
