West Ham United are ready to deal in Bolton Wanderers fullback Jlloyd Samuel.
The People says The 30-year-old spent last week training at the club's Chadwell Heath complex and impressed Allardyce sufficiently to be offered a deal by the Hammers.
Left-back Samuel was a free agent after his four-year deal at the Reebok expired. He was loaned to Cardiff in March, but only played six games for the Bluebirds.
Leeds boss Simon Grayson had showed an interest in Samuel, but Allardyce stepped in and the player will be reunited with his former manager, and another of his old team-mates, Kevin Nolan.
