West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has denied speculation he has begun talks over a new contract, reiterating he will start discussions once the Premier League season ends.

With his contract expiring at the end of the season and rumours are rife as to whether he will ink a new deal at Upton Park or not, the 60-year-old's future is up in the air.

Allardyce has proved a divisive figure amongst Hammers supporters and speaking ahead of Saturday's visit from Burnley, refuted suggestions talks were already underway.

He told Sky Sports News: "What my future will be will be when we decide to sit down at West Ham and talk through our situation.

"Outside of that, at this moment, nothing else interests me."

He continued: "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."

The former Bolton Wanderers and Blackburn Rovers boss moved  to West Ham in 2011 and despite returning the Hammers to the top flight at the first attempt, has never won over supporters.
