West Ham striker Carlton Cole has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving in central London.

The 24-year-old was stopped by police while driving on Victoria Embankment near the Thames in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

He was given a roadside breath test and taken to a nearby police station where he was later bailed, police said.

Cole missed Tuesday's Carling Cup defeat against Watford because of a foot injury.

He must answer bail at a central London police station in November.
