West Ham United striker Carlton Cole has ruled out a move away from Upton Park in the January transfer window.

The former Chelsea striker has been linked with several Premier League clubs in recent weeks, with French side Marseille also reportedly in the running.

Cole scored in West Ham’s 2-1 win over Coventry City on Saturday, taking his tally to five goals in 13 Championship matches this season.

"I know there have been rumours about me leaving but that is all they are,” said the 26-year-old.

"People are trying to line themselves up for January and see what is happening with players they might be interested in. That is normal, it happens in every window, but I am happy at West Ham. I am good and want to play more."
