Sky Sports understands West Ham have made an enquiry for Leicester striker Jermaine Beckford.

Sam Allardyce is desperate to bolster his forward line as he looks to keep the Hammers on course for a return to the Premier League.

He has been linked with a number of players this winter but has been frustrated in his efforts to secure targets such as Nikica Jelavic, and has switched his focus elsewhere.

While Genoa striker Ze Eduardo has arrived ahead of a potential transfer, West Ham are also understood to have contacted Championship rivals Leicester regarding the availability of Beckford.

Beckford only joined the Foxes in the summer after a season with Everton in the Premier League, while he had previously plied his trade with Leeds.

I'm sure Chelsea couldn't loan out one of the players they bought last season to Stoke because of it.

I doubt nigel will let him go at such short notice unless he has a replacement in mind. He's not stupid.

Konchesky played for Fulham, Liverpool and Forest last season though.

The transfer market is slow Sky are desperate for stories so at worst why not make it up, at best Allardyce has been asked would you be interested in Beckford, he's given a non commital reply,from which the reporter has decided he's interested and thats news.

He left Fulham in August 2010

Yes, on the 31st August, 2 1/2 weeks after the season had started and after already making an appearance for them in the league. http://www.fulhamfc.com/MatchAndTeam/MatchCentre/Matches/1011/Premiership/ManUnitedHome.aspx

Yes. After already making an appearance for them in the league. http://www.fulhamfc.com/MatchAndTeam/MatchCentre/Matches/1011/Premiership/ManUnitedHome.aspx

Ha ha I'd just read that myself :icon_lol: you're right I'm wrong.

It's ok because they aren't buying the league.

Maybe a premier league rule then?

Maybe. Don't know. Sure boc or Jeff or someone will know the exact rule or if it exists.

From what I can see Beckford could only join on a 93 day emergency loan arrangement as he cannot be registered by 3 clubs in one season. I don't think we'd let him go. 2 wins and were back in the mix, something I didn't think I would hear myself saying.

It may be am Andy Gray special

 

[Durham Fox]

He was at Forest on an emergency loan I think.

Fairly sure you can't be registered at 3 clubs in a season.
