The Ginger Pele is a wanted man

James Collins is today reported as being a wanted man with the new season just over a fortnight away.

Everton been hit by injury to Ramires Funes Mori who will miss most of the new campaign and manager Ronald Koeman has allegedly turned his gaze on The Ginger Pele.

It is also believed that the 33 year old is also wanted by Crystal Palace and Stoke which would leave the Hammers board with a dilemma.

Ginge is in the last year of his contract and would be available at a fee of around £2 million which given his age could be seen as decent money.

And with the Irons having Winston Reid, Angelo Ogbonna, Jose Fonte and  Declan Rice available, Slaven Bilic has a tricky proposition facing him.

The club have been talking to Collins about a new deal and want him to stay so the situation is very much in the player’s hands.
