#PLStories – #CarltonCole believes #MesutOzil should come to West Ham and feel loved again #WHUFC #ArsenalFC

Carlton Cole says he would love to see Mesut Ozil at West Ham. The Arsenal outcast looks set to leave the Emirates within the next 12 months having been excluded from both the Gunners' Premier League and Europa League squad. Ozil's contract is up at the end of the season and this week he issued a statement hitting out at the club's perceived lack of loyalty after he opted to sign a new contract at the Emirates. Former Hammers striker Cole says he thinks Ozil should undoubtedly have a role at Arsenal and questioned how he was unable to even make their 25-man Premier League squad.

Cole told talkSPORT: "I think he knows why he's not playing but he's got to play to the press as well. "It's all PR as well, you've got to understand that. "There's a reason why he's not in that team or even close to it because it's Mesut Ozil - you'd put him in a 25-man squad, come on. When asked if he'd take Ozil at West Ham, Cole added: "Of course, of course. West Ham have always liked those kind of players, those magician-like players.

He said: "When I can't support on the pitch tonight, I will support in front of the TV in London. "What are your predictions for the match? I go for a 4-1 away victory."
