Allardyce wants new deal for keeper

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has revealed that he is working hard to persuade Robert Green to sign a new contract. Green, who was recalled to the England squad last week, is out of contract in the summer and is yet to agree new terms. The 32-year-old has been in excellent form for The Hammers this season and they are keen to tie him down to a new deal. "We're trying, we are still negotiating like we have been for a long time with a few players," said Allardyce. "We have not got that to a conclusion yet. Green has been playing on top of his game and has done well all season. Today, he showed he is worthy of his call-up. "His all-round goalkeeping is very solid, his basics are very good and when we need something a little more, he is always there for us."
