Bilic: West Ham squad too small

Slaven Bilic admits that his squad is too small and that they still need  one or two players more.

He didn't reveal who he is keen to sign, but we'll know more within the next weeks.

Bilic said:

"To get those kind of strikers, we as a club, we couldn't fight with the big guns. So we had to be very early, before them, and/or give more money to the players. And then it is also hard.

"But I said we are not going to buy just for the sake of buying, and that includes strikers as well.

"Also, I told the chairman a couple of days ago that I can understand for some players we are not their number one target, but I told him that I also don't want to buy the players who don't want to come to us.

"Now we have a different strategy," he said. "We are trying to get one or two players that are really hungry and keen to join us and they are extremely quality players.

"Hopefully we are going to get one or two of them, depending also on Lanzini's situation, which we are going to know only in a few days' time. Still, we don't have a squad big enough to compete, even in the Premier League".
