West Ham boss Allardyce retains hope of securing Reid to new deal

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce hasn't given up on securing Winston Reid to a new deal.

Talks over a new deal between Hammers owners and Reid have been rumbling on since the summer.

But despite the wait Allardyce is still hopeful the 26-year-old will commit himself to the club and sign a new deal at Upton Park.

"I just don't pay too much attention to it now it has gone on so long," said Allardyce.

"I just hope that the phone call is a yes when the chairman rings me up at some stage.

"At the moment it is neither a positive nor a negative. It is neither a yes or a no from Reidy at the moment."
