West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce hopes to snap up Bolton Wanderers wing-back Jlloyd Samuel.
The Mirror says Allardyce wants to agree a deal for 30-year-old Samuel – who is a free agent after being released by Wanderers boss Owen Coyle – and he could join the ex-Reebok colony at Upton Park.
Trinidad and Tobago international Samuel signed for Bolton under Gary Megson’s management.
But Allardyce knows him from his time at his former club and also when the defender started at Aston Villa.
