David Moyes admits there is a strong chance West Ham United could not sign anybody this month.

Sebastian Haller was recently sold to Ajax and it was believed Moyes would search for a replacement.

But the Scotsman says the club do not want to waste money on a hasty signing.

Moyes said: "What I don't want to do, I don't want to spend and waste my money, take a wage up bringing a player in, spend big money and find that actually, I've got it wrong. I'd rather I waited and got someone who might be available in the summer.

"It's difficult to say, but maybe in the past that may well have happened and I'm trying to be correct in as much as I can do. You can't always be correct in what you do, we're always trying to make the right signings and not making the wrong ones. No manager attempts to make a bad signing but I just want to try and make sure that any money I'm spending, because we don't have a big pool of money. We've not got a bundle of money, loads and loads of cash so I'm trying to spend it wisely.

"We've bought well with the likes of [Vladimir] Coufal, [Tomas] Soucek and [Jarrod] Bowen. So I've got to make sure that I'm continually adding players of that ilk.

"Now and again we might have to go and spend big money to get somebody in but if we can't get them then they are not available."
