Joe Cole set to quit West Ham United?

West Ham United midfielder Joe Cole is reportedly preparing to leave the club in January.

The 32-year-old was visibly furious after being subbed off the pitch after just 36 minutes in the Hammers' 3-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League last weekend.


According to the Daily Mail, the former Liverpool man is unhappy with the decision of manager Sam Allardyce, and is now considering his future with the Hammers, with a view to making a January exit from the London outfit.


Joe Cole's current contract with West Ham runs out in the summer, and it looks likely that he may make a cut-price move during the winter transfer window.
