West Ham boss Grant counting on more signings to follow O'Neil

West Ham United boss Avram Grant hopes to add more signings before next week's transfer deadline.

Grant welcomed midfielder Gary O'Neil from Middlesbrough yesterday.

He told whufc.com: "I don't want to speak about other deals. We have many names linked to us and most of them are not true.

"We have one or two more targets that we want to do and we will talk about them when we do the deals. There is no use speaking about this now because then you will start to ask me about thousands of names.

"I feel that we need to do it and I want to do it because it will be good for us, but I never have 100 per cent confidence that a deal will be done in football!

"We started this a long time ago - not in January. We have a very good scouting system and good people there. All my staff are involved in this. If we think about any player, we watch him and see if he can be good for us and then we look at the financial issues and see if we can bring him in or not. I am not involved in the financial situation - only about the budget.

"It will be around two more players!"
