Carlton Cole is set to join West Brom: Action Images
West Ham United are likely to recall Mauro Zarate from QPR if Carlton Cole moves to West Brom.
Striker Cole is close to joining the Baggies which would leave Sam Allardyce's side short of a forward.
Zarate joined Harry Redknapp's team on loan but the striker is set to return to Upton Park early.
