Paolo Di Canio will start looking for a new club next month unless the striker
is told he is still wanted at West Ham, according to his agent.

Moreno Roggi said he had spoken with West Ham managing director Paul Aldridge
this week and set a deadline for the Hammers to decide whether they want to
offer the hot-headed Italian an extension to his current contract, which runs
out next summer.
'He (Aldridge) told me he wasn't sure if West Ham wanted to keep him on after
this season. He said he would check with his manager,' said Roggi.
'It is no secret Paolo wants to stay at West Ham and finish his career there.
He loves the club.
'In fact, he would be interested in seeing if there could be some role for
him at the club after he retires.
'So I told Aldridge they had until the end of October to decide if they
wanted to talk to us about a new deal or not.
'He (Paolo) wants to play somewhere and if West Ham aren't willing to discuss
a contract extension then he has no choice but to look elsewhere.'
