Andy Carroll knows he's playing for his future at West Ham.

The £100,000-a-week striker, who turned 30 on Sunday, toasted his birthday with an FA Cup goal to sink Birmingham the day before.

“Of course I want to stay," he said. “I'm just playing football as it is and not thinking about that.

“Yes, I want to stay and I want a new deal but I can't really think about that every day. I've just got to play my football when I get the chance.

“I've got a two-year option at the end of the season so we'll see what happens.

“I've got to play a few more games like this one, get on when I when I get on and, like the manager says, I've got to impress him in the minutes he gives me."
