West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce says that he is not concerned about Stewart Downing's form during his time at Liverpool.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has claimed that he is 'not interested' in new signing Stewart Downing's lacklustre form at Liverpool.

The Hammers have signed the 29-year-old winger, who failed to live up to his £20m price tag at Anfield following his arrival from Aston Villa in 2011.

"I'm more interested in Stewart Downing Aston Villa than I am Downing Liverpool," BBC Sport quotes Allardyce as saying.

"Downing at Villa is more what I'm looking for than perhaps he was at Liverpool. That's no reflection on what Stewart did at Liverpool because he was asked to play a different way than he was at Villa."

West Ham captured Downing for a reported fee of £6m.
