AC makes Irons ambition clear

Andy Carroll has made it clear the squad is targeting the Champions League.

With Saturday’s game against Palace almost demanding three points as the Hammers keep up their charge AC said: “We want a top four spot.

“We’ll have to concentrate game by game and see how it goes, I’m really looking forward to it, keeping myself fit. The team are doing very well right now.”

Meanwhile, a total of half a million pounds is believed to have been raised for the DT38 Foundation, Help For Heroes and Richard House Children’s Hospice from Mark Noble’s Testimonial.
