West Ham United boss David Moyes says he intends to scour the lower divisions for new talent.
Moyes spent the weekend scouting Championship prospects.
And he revealed yesterday: "Looking back over my time, I look at people like Phil Jagielka, Joleon Lescott, Tim Cahill, Andy Johnson, Leighton Baines who I have picked up over the years. You get the ones you think are going to be good for your team, and it doesn't happen every year. Sometimes you get none, other years you get two or three you'd like to sign.
"I always used to think 'Where do players come from?' and they either come from your Academy or you have to go and find them from the lower leagues. We shouldn't forget there are so many good players and young players in the lower leagues who, given opportunities, would do themselves justice.
"We're going to look but we don't always take everyone we see and we don't always sign them."
