The Hammers squad has been weakened by the departures of Les Ferdinand, Glen Johnson and Trevor Sinclair, and Rob Lee is now top of their wish-list.

Roeder told the club's website: "We are very pleased with what Robert Lee has contributed, not just in the matches but in the training, and the way he has integrated with the rest of the squad.

"He has got such a reputation in the game throughout his playing career, playing for England, Newcastle, Charlton - he is very highly respected in the game at 37 - and we are hopeful that when we get back to England we can sit down and do something with Rob that is acceptable to him.

"I would certainly like to be able to get him in the squad this year, that's for sure."
