Scott Parker has confirmed he will tell Sam Allardyce he needs to
quit West Ham for the sake of his England career when the pair return
from holiday.
Parker will hold talks with the new Hammers boss to discuss his
future, which he admitted must lie in the Barclays Premier League if he
is to keep his international place.
"Oh yeah, for sure," the midfielder said after last night's 2-2 draw
with Switzerland. "That where everyone wants to play, in the Premier
League, and I'm no different. I'm sure he'll give me a call and we'll go
through things."
Parker's departure from West Ham appeared a foregone conclusion the moment they were relegated.
There will be so shortage of suitors for the Footballer of the Year,
with Tottenham, Liverpool FC and Arsenal all linked with him.
But Parker insisted he had yet to give any though to where he might end up.
"As soon as that game ended, I think my main focus was having a rest and just shutting the body down, really," he said.
"It's been a long, hard season for the majority of the players in there.
"So, looking forward to getting away with the family and just chilling out a little bit."
Be sad to see him go but he will always get a good welcome back at UP next season , if its a cup game of course otherwise it will have to wait a bit
