Loss: It was a glum day for Allardyce, whose side take on Hamburg next week


Mainz 4 West Ham 1: Hammers succumb to heavy defeat against Bundesliga side


West Ham suffered their first loss of their pre-season programme, after being soundly beaten by German side Mainz at the Stadion am Bruchweg.

The Hammers trailed 2-0 at half-time through goals from Dani Schahin and Nicolai Muller and, although Joe Cole volleyed the visitors back into contention at the start of the second period, Shawn Parker re-established the Bundesliga side's two-goal cushion by converting a controversial 74th-minute penalty.

Sebastian Polter sealed matters four minutes later, and Sam Allardyce's men will be trying to bounce back when they face another Bundesliga side, Hamburger SV in their next friendly.


The Hammers had won all four of their previous pre-season games prior to their visit to Mainz, but were under the cosh straight from kick-off, as Dani Schahin took advantage of poor West Ham defending to slot in from a cross after nine minutes.

Mainz doubled their advantage midway through the first half, after Winston Reid backed off Nicolai Mueller, and the instrumental winger drove home past Jussi Jaaskelainen into the bottom corner.

Things could have got even worse for West Ham - who included American Sebastian Lletget in their strong starting line-up - before half time, but Niki Zimling hit the post from a free-kick for the home side.

Undoubtedly having received harsh words from Allardyce, the Premier League side set about closing the gap with increased pressure after half time, and reduced the deficit to 2-1 straight away with a goal from Joe Cole.

The England midfielder latched on to a Ricardo Vaz Te knock-down and swept home to spark chance after chance for the away team.

Modibo Maiga - who started in place of summer signing Andy Carroll who was not in the match squad - went close, as did Cole in his quest to double his tally.

Things soon turned sour for West Ham, as they were made to rue their missed chances. Shawn Parker struck home from the spot - after a hotly debated penalty was given - for Mainz to all but end the competitiveness of the contest, and just four minutes later Sebastian Polter volleyed home from close range.

It was a deserved victory for the home side in the end, and Allardyce will be looking to add to his squad before the new season starts.

The Hammers kick off their league campaign with a game at home to new-boys Cardiff, and have been linked with midfielder Oscar Trejo, and another striker this summer.

Got a Kalou? West Ham are keen on a cut-price deal for the Ivorian


West Ham line up former Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou as Zapata move falters





West Ham United are lining up a £2.5million bid for Salomon Kalou,

The Hammers want to get him back to the Premier League from French side Lille as Sam Allardyce bulks up his front options.

Striker Andy Carroll is ruled out of the start of the season and Colombian Duvan Zapata failed in his bid for a work permit.
It has led Allardyce to consider new targets - and 27-year-old former Chelsea star Kalou has emerged as a man he would love to sign.

West Ham have discovered he has a buy-out clause in his contract so will now step up their interest.

Les Dogues will be reluctant to lose any more attacking talent, with new signing Florin Thauvin already angling for a move away from Le Grand Stade Metropole.

West Ham United line up move for Salomon Kalou?


West Ham United are eyeing up a move for Lille striker Salomon Kalou, according to a report.

The Hammers are looking to bolster their attacking options as Andy Carroll looks set to miss the first month of the season while a move for Duvan Zapata broke down.

Sam Allardyce is hoping to lure the former Chelsea forward back to the Premier League and is confident that a bid of £2.5m will be enough to secure his services, reports The People.

The 27-year-old scored 14 goals in Ligue 1 for the French side last season.

STEVEN REID reckons Nicolas Anelka is going to love West Brom’s Shane attraction.

The selfless work of Shane Long is hugely appreciated by team-mates.

And Reid said: “Romelu Lukaku scored 17 goals last season but he’d be the first to admit Longy did a lot of the dirty work. I think he and Anelka will do well together.”

KEVIN PHILLIPS admits it is “unbelievable” signing a new one-year deal with Premier League new-boys Crystal Palace — just five days before he turns 40.

The ex-England striker said: “I was always hoping to have another chance to play in the top flight. It’s unbelievable for me.”

WEST BROM striker Isaiah Brown has signed for Chelsea.

Albion will receive up to £2million for the 16-year-old.

The £12million striker is training with ex-club Vitesse Arnhem in Holland.

Swans boss Michael Laudrup said: “I hope he will be here next week but he’s not been to Swansea yet.”
