West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce is delighted with his new deal.

Allardyce penned a new, two-year contract with the Hammers on the weekend.

"I am very pleased about signing my new contract but I wasn't expecting that it was ever going to be a problem," Allardyce told the club's official website.

"There was a lot of speculation but it's over and done with now and we can concentrate on building for a new season."
