West Ham United in talks over Carlton Cole deal

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has revealed that the club are in talks with Carlton Cole about extending his contract.

The 30-year-old striker initially left the Hammers at the end of last season, but he returned to Upton Park in October, signing a three-month deal.

When asked about Cole's contract situation, Allardyce told talkSPORT: "Yeah, we've got that in mind.

"We're talking about [the contract] as quickly as we possibly can because obviously it needs to be addressed."

Cole has scored three goals in 12 appearances this season.
