Paintsil To Leave West Ham?

John Pantsil has revealed his frustration at not being played at West Ham and stated his desire to leave the club.

"I am a professional footballer and need to play frequently, but if I can't get to play at West Ham then the best thing is to move on to a club where I can have regular playing time.

After I recovered from my injury I made frantic efforts to reclaim my position but after Allan Pardew was kicked out things suddenly became very difficult for me. This is because the new coach who took over bought many players and wants to justify his purchases by giving those players more opportunities, hence making my chances slimmer and slimmer."
