West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce accepts they will sell midfielder Scott Parker in the coming days.

Allardyce believes the club's £8m valuation of the England midfielder will be met.

"I have to be pessimistic and say somebody will probably hit the numbers and there is a big possibility he won't be here by September 1," he said.

Arsenal and Manchester City have been linked with Parker this weekend.
