Former West Ham striker Carlton Cole insists new manager Manuel Pellegrini can attract top quality players to London stadium.

Cole believes the Chilean can attract top talent to the London Stadium.

"Definitely he is going to be attracting a few top players that he wants to fit into the team now. He may let a few go and let a few in. His money is going to be spent wisely," he told Sky Sports News.

"It's hard to [pick specific positions]. I think he needs to galvanise the team he has already got and then add a few players who can bring different angles to the team. Help approach the style of play he wants.

"You have to look at his history - he likes to play the ball on the floor. He's gonna get some ball players in, maybe a defender, midfielder and striker."
