West Bromwich Albion are interested in signing Carlton Cole from West Ham United, according to reports.
The 31-year-old striker has featured in just 12 league games for the Hammers this season, scoring two goals.
He is said to be frustrated with his lack of first-team opportunities under manager Sam Allardyce.
Cole spent seven years at Upton Park before leaving in the summer of 2013, only to return three months later.
According to Sky Sports News, West Brom have made the former Chelsea man a target before the transfer window closes.
Cole's last goal for West Ham came in the FA Cup tie against Everton last month.
