West Ham United captain Kevin Nolan has backed Andy Carroll to fire them into Europe.

With Carroll's loan from Liverpool made permanent in a £16million deal, the skipper is expecting much more this term.

Nolan said: "We're looking for double figures - me, Andy, all the strikers have to chip in with a fair amount if we want to finish top 10 again.

"The expectancy within the camp is to do better than last season. We want to make sure we're 10th or above this year."
