No go for triallist

Sam Allardyce has rejected the opportunity to sign striker Habib Habibou.

Despite reports to the contrary appearing in the national media over the weekend, Allardyce had already decided against making a move for the SV Zulte Waregem forward.

Habibou hit a brace for Ian Hendon's development squad in their recent victory against Brentford - a game in which the 24-year-old hit a brace.

However he failed to impress Allardyce sufficiently and has now returned to his parent club in Belgium.

The Hammers boss is now thought to have turned his attention to Japanese international Ryoichi Maeda, whom the Japanese media are now linking with a move to east London.
