Joe Cole urges Carroll to join West Ham

Hammers midfielder Joe Cole has advised Andy Carroll to make a permanent move to West Ham from Liverpool. Striker Carroll has fallen out of favour with Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers and spent last season on loan at Upton Park.

West Ham have already agreed a fee with Liverpool for the signing of the striker, but the forward is apparently delaying over a permanent move.


Carroll has been told to join West Ham by team mate Joe Cole.


"We play to suit him, we play around him. We try to get good quality balls into the box for him and that is going to be valuable. If I was him, I would be wanting to stay at West Ham," said Cole.


"The lads love him and the fans have taken to him. If he keeps himself fit he can get 20 to 30 goals next season and really kick on."
