Noble cause: Mark Noble (right) says he wants to stay a Hammer

A local lad from Canning Town, Noble is a Hammers fan and wants to help his club next season even if they fail to make up the five points on Sheffield United in 17th place.

"There will obviously be some changes and the majority of players will want to stay in the Premiership," Noble told the club's website, www.whufc.co.uk.

"But I am sure there will be a few staying with me and if we can make a core of them then hopefully we can come straight back up.

"Having said that, I don't want to talk too much about relegation."

Boss Alan Curbishley is expected to trim his squad in the summer if they finish in the bottom three, although chairman Eggert Magnusson has recently stated his intention for Dean Ashton to remain at the club.

Magnusson also wants to focus on the youth system at the club so players such as Noble continue to break through into the first team.

"When the season is over we will sit down and get a grip on the Academy, chat with the staff at the training ground and so on," said Magnusson.

"We are more likely to invest more in the Academy but first I would like to see how it operates at the moment."

A player who looks likely to leave at the end of the campaign is veteran Teddy Sheringham.

The 41-year-old former England international, who has not featured in a Premiership game this year, has been linked with a move to Perth Glory.

The Australian side are looking at short-term deals for Sheringham and Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola, according to reports Down Under.

Back-to-back victories have raised confidence in the squad ahead of the trip to Arsenal on Saturday.

Goalkeeper Robert Green said: "We've had two good results and I can't see any reason why we can't go there and get a decent result and go and win the game.

"Some people have put it down as a home banker but I think the mood the team are in and the determination that's here, we are going to give them a hell of a game.

"It's going to be a massive challenge for us but one that we're hoping to win."
