The experienced centre half, who has spent around eight years of his professional career at the club during two separate spells told a KUMB source that West Ham are trying to sell him ahead of tomorrow's deadline - despite having expressed a desire to remain in east London.Collins, who was close to securing a new contract last season before Sam Allardyce left the club has made just two appearances for the first team this season - both in the Europa League.However he has failed to feature for the first team squad since being sent off in West Ham's 2-2 draw with Astra Giurgiu as the Hammers led 2-0, a dismissal that many felt was responsible for the club's eventual exit from the competition.Collins returned to West Ham three years ago this month in a cut-price ?2.5million deal, but has been left out of two of Slaven Bilic's four Premier League match day squads this term.However the popular centre half, known to colleagues and supporters as 'Ginge' still believes he has plenty in the tank - even if his new manager and his staff feels differently.Pld 65, Gls 2Pld 87, Gls 4Pld 152, Gls 6
