West Ham co-owner David Sullivan admits the club would love to bring Tottenham midfielder Scott Parker back to the club.
Parker was a popular figure at the Hammers before his departure to White Hart Lane in 2011 and is thought to be surplus to requirements at Spurs.
Responding to questions on Twitter Sullivan said he "would love to have Scott Parker back if there is room on the wage bill".
He also went on to add that signing offensive players remained the priority, saying: "We need goalscorers not defenders".
"We are happy with the rest of the team all we need now is pace and goals."
