West Ham United are currently in 17th place in the Premier League table.
According to a report in the Daily Express, West Ham United will only sanction one permanent transfer in the January window.
Slaven Bilic has been discussing transfer targets with the West Ham board recently, but with his job far from secure, it is unlikely that he will be backed by huge funds.
West Ham are keen not to part company with Bilic, but they realise that if their current slump continues, they will be left with little choice.
The Hammers are currently in 17th place in the Premier League table, and sit just one point above the bottom three.
Bilic is eager to add further quality to his squad in January, but he may be forced to rely on loans.
The Express say West Ham will only sanction one permanent transfer, should Bilic still be at the helm in the new year.
The Croatian boss will then be forced to look towards the loan market should he wish to make any further improvements.
West Ham are said to have identified Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic as a potential target ahead of the transfer window.
