David Moyes is frustrated at West Ham’s unsuccessful search for a new striker in the January transfer window.

“We’ve already made big inquiries and offers for players at clubs, which have not been accepted or obviously we would have signed somebody,” he said.

“It is not as if we are not trying to that, we have tried. But I need to get players who I think can make a difference and I want it to be someone who I think can help us.

“If I don’t then I might need to look short-term, just to get me through to get me another player, but if not then I will use the young players or I will have to try and use someone else from the squad and see how we can do it.”

The Hammers are light in attack with Sebastien Haller having left for Ajax.
