West Ham pass on deals for three trialists

Ghana defender John Mensah, ex-Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre and former Portsmouth midfielder Anthony Vanden Borre, will not be offered permanent deals after trials with West Ham. Hammers boss Sam Allardyce said: "We have had one or two trialists in but none of them have been offered a contract because I think that I already have enough quality within my squad.

"I don't want to take a player for the sake of it, even though we had some very good players come in on trial.

"My decision was to not offer them anything and I am happy with the squad I have now and hopefully it will continue to improve as they get to know each other better."
