Hammers let Fulham talk to two

West Ham have given Fulham permission to speak to striker Bobby Zamora and defender John Pantsil after the pair were deemed surplus to requirements at Upton Park.

Zamora, who scored only once in 14 matches last season, and Pantsil, with 17 games in the previous campaign, are both looking for more regular first-team football and that persuaded the Hammers to let them leave.
