Pardew still on striker hunt

West Ham manager Alan Pardew confirmed he is still in the market for a big-name striker despite signing Israel international Yaniv Katan this week.

Pardew has high hopes for Katan – but the 24-year-old does not represent the marquee striker Pardew has been trying to sign since the summer, when he missed out on Monaco’s Emmanuel Adebayor and Benni McCarthy from Porto.
