​Carroll has triple target for West Ham season

West Ham striker Andy Carroll is hoping to secure a triple target before the end of the season.

The 27-year-old is targeting an FA Cup win and a top-four finish with the Hammers, as well as a place in Roy Hodgson's England squad for Euro 2016.

"I have three things to aim for with the club pushing for top four, the FA Cup final and making the England squad," he told the Evening Standard.

"I don't want to be getting injured now, it would be the worst thing. I don't know why (the setbacks) happen, it just does. It's upsetting, really.

"It's been hard, I have been injured a lot. My run in the side hasn't been continuous, but it's still a dream to play for my country. It's something I want to do and I will never give up on it.

"I have great memories of Euro 2012 and would love to be there again.

"My love for my country is never going to go away. Hopefully, I will stay fit, keep playing, score goals and I will get a chance to go."
