Carlton Cole arrives at West Bromwich Albion

Carlton Cole has reportedly arrived at West Bromwich Albion's training ground ahead of a potential move to The Hawthorns.

The 33-year-old initially left West Ham United on a free transfer last summer, but rejoined the Hammers following a host of injury problems at Upton Park.

The forward has struggled for first-team football this season, however, and it is understood that he is closing on a move away from London.

According to Sky Sports News, Cole has arrived at West Brom for talks, with both parties keen to close a deal before the window slams shut.

Cole started his professional career at Chelsea.
