Sam Allardyce: 'I haven't opened contract talks'

Sam Allardyce dismisses reports that he has discussed a new deal with West Ham United.

Sam Allardyce has dismissed reports that he has opened talks with West Ham United about a contract extension.

The Hammers have been linked with a number of managers in recent months as they reportedly consider replacing Allardyce, whose current deal expires at the end of the campaign.

However, Allardyce claims that he is preparing for next season, despite insisting that he is yet to discuss terms over a new deal.

"What my future will be will be when we decide to sit down at West Ham and talk through our situation," he told reporters. "Outside of that, at this moment, nothing else interests me.

"We are doing all the pre-season work. Martin [Glover], our head of recruitment, is looking to pull a list together with all the people that we work with.

"If and when we decide what is happening with some of the players...as always sort myself out, the most important thing, then we move forward with that."

West Ham host Burnley at Upton Park on Saturday.
