West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has admitted he is unlikely to make any signings during the January transfer window.

The Hammers have impressed during the first half of the season and are currently sixth in the Premier League.

The West Ham boss believes it is more important to keep his squad fit and expects most of the transfer activity to take place in the summer.

Bilic told talkSport: "The main thing is to stay away from injuries and, if we do that, we have a really good team that can compete with any team in the league.

“We have a good squad, a big squad, and [it’s] 99 per cent [certain] we will leave it like this and make our signings in the summer.

“If something exceptional comes along, whether that’s a long-term deal for one great player, or a loan deal for a back-up player for six months, we will do it. But we won’t buy just because it’s the transfer window.”
