Triallist Mikael Forssell has left West Ham having failed to secure a permanent contract.
As revealed by KUMB.com, the Finnish international has been training at Chadwell Heath for the past fortnight in an effort to land a contract with Sam Allardyce's new squad.However his agent, Erkki Alaja revealed today that the former Chelsea and Birmingham striker had been unsuccessful. "Miklu [Forssell] stayed in London and got a good workout," he told MTV3. "All went well, but the agreement is always another matter."
Despite failing to secure a deal with West Ham, the 30-year-old free agent has retained his place in the next Finland squad - for whom he has made 76 appearances - and is pencilled in to face Latvia next week.
