Kevin Nolan urges West Ham United to push for Europe

West Ham United captain Kevin Nolan believes that with a few more additions, the Hammers will be able to contend for a place in the Europa League.

The London outfit managed to survive relegation by securing an eighth-place finish following their promotion to the top flight last season.

"We want to push on and get into cup finals and push for Europa [League] because that is what myself and Sam [Allardyce] produced at Bolton and with the quality we have got in the squad we can get this club back to where it belongs," talkSPORT quotes Nolan as saying.

Meanwhile, reports have claimed that the club are edging closer to signing Liverpool striker Andy Carroll on a permanent deal.
