Former Real Madrid defender Francisco Pavon has turned down a deal from West Ham United.

The Spaniard impressed in trials, but lack of game time meant West Ham were reluctant to offer him more than a deal up to January.

Pavon is a free agent after leaving French club Arles-Avignon in the summer.

Hammers boss Sam Allardyce said: "Ability-wise, Franco would certainly be capable but physically, because he hasn't had a club for a while, that fitness is way down."
