Former Hammer and free agent Carlton Cole is in talks with Scottish Premier League champions Celtic.
The 31-year-old has been without a club since leaving the Boleyn Ground at the end of last season but could be set to join the Bhoys on a free transfer.According to reports from north of the border Cole is currently undergoing talks with Celtic chiefs. West Ham's former number nine was spotted in the crowd at Celtic Park yesterday afternoon as the hosts thrashed Dundee 6-0.
"We will have talks with him and see him in training this week," said Celtic manager Ronny Deila, speaking at the weekend.
"It is not [a trial]. He has been in London his whole life, so he has to see what he is coming to and then we will see if it is something that he likes and we like as well.
"I think he is a very good football player and he shown in the Premier League and also the Championship that he can score goals and he is different to what we have.
"He is a target man, very good in the air and strong and that is something that, if everything fits, could be good for us."
