West Ham United midfielder Joe Cole has called on Andy Carroll to sign a permanent deal at the club.
It has been claimed that the Hammers have agreed a £15m fee with Liverpool for the permanent capture of Carroll, who spent a season-long loan at the Boleyn Ground.
Despite the Reds' willingness to sell the forward, Carroll has yet to make a decision on his future.
"We play to suit him," The Express quotes Cole as saying. "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'd be wanting to stay at West Ham. 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."
Cole made a similar move in January when he left Liverpool for the East London outfit.
