New Zealanders rarely dominate the headlines during the transfer window, but West Ham defender Winston Reid is the centre of attention after manager Sam Allardyce announced that he did not expect him to stay beyond the end of the season, prompting talk of a move to Liverpool or Arsenal.

The 26-year-old defender is out of contract in June and West Ham may be tempted to offload him before his deal runs out in six months, although the Hammers have had no approaches for the defender yet, according to the BBC.
