Hines: I don’t want to leave West Ham

West Ham striker Zavon Hines remains hopeful he can agree a new deal to stay at Upton Park.

Hines looked set to quit the east London club after he turned down the first offer to renew his contract at the end of the season.

The England Under-21 forward is currently a free agent and has been strongly linked with a move to Norwich.

But as talkSPORT revealed last week, West Ham manager Sam Allardyce is determined to keep Hines at the club and the 22-year-old striker says a deal could be finalised in the near future.

Hines said: "I don't want to leave and I am trying to agree a new deal with the club."
