Grant has plans for Cole

Avram Grant wants to keeps Carlton Cole but is uncertain if he will still be at West Ham when the January transfer window closes. Cole has been linked with a £10million move to Liverpool, while Tottenham and Stoke are also reported to be interested in the England marksman. The financially-stricken Hammers are sure to cash in on their most bankable name and Grant admits the 27-year-old's Upton Park future is in doubt. "We want him to be here but you never know what will happen in football. We want to keep this squad," he said. "I don't like the January transfer window because it's not easy to bring players in and we don't want to lose players. We want to keep the same squad for all the season."
