West Ham boss Allardyce admits Maiga struggling for confidence

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce admits Modibo Maiga is short of confidence in front of goal.

Maiga has not scored for 10 months.

Hammers boss Sam Allardyce said: "He's struggling because he's not scored.

"He's paid to score a goal and when you buy a front man, he is up there to put balls in the net. Unfortunately, at this level, he's found that difficult to do.

"His contribution is all right in build-up terms but in the end it has to result in some form of goals."
