New Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill is reportedly keen on signing West Ham striker Carlton Cole.
O'Neill has taken over the struggling Premier League club and one of his first aims is to improve their attack as they have lacked goals this season.
Cole has been a real threat for the Hammers this season scoring seven times as they have climbed up to second in the Championship.
