Striker has no intention of leaving West Ham

West Ham striker Carlton Cole has poured cold water on speculation linking him with a move away from the club by insisting he is going nowhere this month. The 28-year-old has been tipped to leave Upton Park during the current transfer window, with Fulham and Turkish giants Galatasaray thought to be potential destinations. But Cole says he has no intention of leaving the Hammers and is hoping to stay on next term. "I told everybody at the start of the season, I'm there for the whole season," he told Sky Sports News. "Next season I want to be here at West Ham again. I'm not looking for a move. "Obviously when you're connected to other teams it's a bit unsettling and unnerving sometimes but I know the chairman has got 100 per cent faith in me and he wants me to do well, the manager as well. "I've got no reason to move at the moment." Keep up to date with all the latest transfer news on Sky Sports News and Sky Sports News Radio .
