West Ham youth coach Cole: Haller must work harder

West Ham United youth coach Carlton Cole insists Sebastien Haller will find his best form - if he steps up his work off the ball.

Haller has found himself in a form slump after bright start to his Irons career.

Cole told 888sport: "I wasn't the most skilful player but I would leave everything out on the pitch. I'm a big believer that you make your own luck so if you work hard and the crowd can see you chasing down the balls and defending that alone gets them on your side. Then your luck starts to come because everybody is willing you to score.

"Showing that heart and love for the game and love for the club takes you over the line psychologically when maybe you're not scoring as many goals as you want to. The fans will help you through and that's where they play a massive role. But Haller must work hard and it will come for him. Just work hard and he will be fine."
