Hammers on the hunt for fresh faces

HAMMERS boss Avram Grant says new faces will be coming to Upton Park this month, with moves underway for Aston Villa midfielder Steve Sidwell as well as the £2 million-rated Cardiff striker Jay Bothroyd.

“We will try to do business because the squad is short,” the West Ham manager confirmed. “We have a lot of games and are trying to bring more good players to us.

“We know that if everybody is fit we have a good squad, but anyway, any player who can improve the squad we will take him.”
