West Ham will not be signing Liverpool winger Stewart Downing because of budget restrictions, according to Irons boss Sam Allardyce.

"I wouldn't have thought we could afford Stewart, unfortunately," the West Ham manager told the Sun.

The Hammers were first linked with the England international last week and West Ham assistant manager Neil McDonald admitted an admiration for Downing but said that no approach had been made for the player and described the reports that the club were set to bid for the former Middlesbrough star as 'paper talk.'
