Harewood scored 55 goals in 204 games for Nottingham Forest

West Ham have told striker Marlon Harewood he can leave the club after three-and-a-half years at Upton Park.
Harewood, 27, says he is looking forward to a new challenge and Wigan, Manchester City and Portsmouth have all been linked with the £4m-rated hitman.
"I think it's time for me to leave," admitted Harewood. "The manager wants to bring in his own players and this happens everywhere, it's football."
Harewood scored only four goals in 35 games for the Hammers last season.
That followed a fine first season in the Premiership when the former Nottingham Forest striker bagged 16 goals from 43 games.

"I want to be playing football, I love it," added Harewood.
"I had a great season before last for West Ham but last season wasn't the best for me.
"But I'm so up for next season. I just can't wait to be scoring again and winning games for a team, that's what I want to be doing."
Harewood started his career with Forest and joined the Hammers for £500,000 in November 2003.
He scored a total of 56 goals in 170 appearances for West Ham.
