Striker Carlton Cole to train with Celtic ahead of potential move

Former West Ham United and Chelsea striker Carlton Cole is to train with Celtic next week ahead of a potential move to the club.

Ronny Deila has revealed that Carlton Cole will train with Celtic next week ahead of a potential move to the club.

Cole is a free agent after being released by West Ham United in the summer, and was at Celtic Park to watch the Hoops demolish Dundee 6-0.

"He was here to look at the game, to get to know us and see the city and club," manager Delia told reporters. "We will have talks with him and see him in training as well, this week I think, and we will see if it is something that will happen or not.

"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 very good football player and he has 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."

Former England international Cole, 31, scored three goals in 26 appearances for West Ham last season.
