Agent hints loan option likely for West Ham striker McCarthy

The agent of Benni McCarthy has hinted a loan move away from West Ham United is a likely prospect.

The South Africa striker has been left off of West Ham's squad list for the second-half of the season.

Agent Rob Moore told the Mail on Sunday: "He wants to play and is not a guy who wants to sit around and collect his cheque.

"Avram has a job to do and the team are in a difficult position, so you can't blame him for making decisions he believes in, but Benni has had hardly any game time and it's inevitable he would get a bit disheartened.

"He's at the level of fitness and weight the club prescribed and they are happy with that. But he is 33 years old and we have to be realistic."
