PROSHOTS

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.

“He’s made it clear to us his future doesn’t lie here come the end of the season so I need to give the other lads game time."

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says new signing Amad Diallo is settling in well since his move from Atalanta.

“Amad has looked really comfortable and he’s settled in really well in training," Solskjaer told United's official website.

"It shows how technically adept he is and, of course, we’ll give him time to settle and adjust, but hopefully we can see him on the pitch in not too long. He’s definitely done well in training.”

AC Milan could decide on Sunday whether or not to go ahead with a move for Mario Mandzukic, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport.

The 34-year-old is a free agent and would provide a rotation option for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Milan are keen not to upset the dynamics of a harmonious group as they continue their title challenge.

West Ham boss David Moyes says the club have received no offers from Manchester United or Chelsea for Declan Rice.

“They’re not true, we’ve had no contact from either of those clubs regarding Declan and we wouldn’t want any anyway,” Moyes told Amazon Prime.

“He’s doing great for us, he’s a big leader now, he’s taken a lot of the weight off Mark Noble. He’s turning out to be a really good player but also a really good boy and good around the club.”
