West Ham captain Mark Noble is stunned by the prices of this summer's transfer market.

Andre Ayew joined a club record £20m deal earlier this week but it appears increasingly possible that a new centre-forward will not arrive at the London Stadium before the end of the month.

“We just have to keep our players fit," the West Ham captain told Sky Sports. “If we had done that, we would have had a right good go last year.

“But you know as well as I do this transfer market is mental and I don't think you can get a player now for less than £30m.

"Everyone is looking for that 20/25 goal striker."
