Turkey's Kasimpasa have approached West Ham United for striker Carlton Cole.

Cole's future at West Ham has been the subject of speculation this month with his contract due to expire at the end of the season.

Sky Sports says Kasimpasa have expressed an interest and they are thought to be locked in talks with the Hammers in trying to agree a fee for the former Chelsea man.

West Ham are thought to be willing to sell for a fee in the region of £3million and Kasimpasa's Turkish rivals Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are believed to be keeping a watching brief on the situation.
