Sam Allardyce expects Winston Reid to leave West Ham United

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has said that he expects Winston Reid to leave the club at the end of the season.

The 26-year-old defender, who is out of contract during the summer, has been heavily linked with Arsenal in recent weeks.

As it stands, the New Zealand international is only free to talk to clubs outside of England about signing pre-contract terms.

"There is no future for Winston Reid at West Ham at the moment. His contract finishes on June 30. He hasn't said he's going to sign or that he's not going to sign," Allardyce told the Daily Mail.

"I'm airing on the side that he isn't going to sign by the feel of it and look of it. Knowing how the football world works, talking to managers about the situation it's very unlikely Winston will sign for us given what people are saying to me."

Reid joined the Hammers from Danish side FC Midtjylland in 2010.
