West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce hopes to improve his squad this summer.

Allardyce is eager to lift the quality of his options before the new season kicks off.

He told whufc.com: "It does depend on what players we bring in and their quality, and on how much we spend. Unfortunately, for the first time ever, there is a restriction on that [spending] throughout the football in this country [with UEFA's new Financial Fair Play rules]. It will be difficult to deal with but we'll have to get through it and see how it works.

"Hopefully, at the start of the season we will have a stronger squad in terms of strength in depth and talent then we had at the start of last season."
