West Brom boss Tony Pulis remains keen on Carlton Cole and could offer the Irons loyalist his dream move to the Baggies in the summer.

Coley comes out of contract on June 30 and the Hammers are ready to let the striker leave with Pulis still interested in making a move.

The Hawthorns chief was deeply disappointed when the deal to sign the front man broke down in the winter window  and despite having other targets remains ready to do a deal as Cole’s wage deal would be relatively low.

The Welshman has made it clear that Cole would offer his squad something they don’t already have and that he has a decent scoring record when he plays.

Cole would love to move to the midlands outfit and was devastated when the winter move broke down at the last moment.

A Hammers source said: “Coley has been a great servant to the club but nothing’s forever and  he will be moving on this summer.”
