Carlton Cole Thinks Former Arsenal Star Will Be a 'Great Addition' to West Ham United's Team

Carlton Cole has given the thumbs up to West Ham United's potential signing of Samir Nasri, insisting his former club would be signing a classy player.

Nasri is currently serving a 12-month ban from football following a doping violation and has been training with the Hammers in a bid to earn a contract once he has served his time away from the game. The club itself is reportedly interested in the former Arsenal midfielder and Cole has supported the idea of a January transfer to the London Stadium.

"I think the manager has a good relationship with him," Cole told Sky Sports, as quoted via their live transfer blog on Monday.
