Hammers chief targets loan move

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has revealed he is hoping to bring in a new central defender on loan. Allardyce is desperate to bring in defensive reinforcements after New Zealand international Winston Reid suffered a dislocated shoulder last week. The Hammers chief will now use the international break to step up his efforts to bring in some defensive cover. "My main priority is to find a central defender to loan for the next two or three months," said Allardyce. "Abdoulaye Faye and James Tomkins were outstanding against Hull on Saturday but they were the only two fit defenders we have at the club at the moment. "I have to fill that position and help us carry on this great run of results that we are on."
