Sky Sports sources understand Juventus have made an approach to sign West
Ham United striker Carlton Cole. The former England Under 21 international
has been in sparkling form for the Hammers of late after scoring five goals
in six games. He was linked with a move to Tottenham after Spurs boss Harry
Redknapp missed out on a deal for Cole's former Hammers team-mate Craig
Bellamy. However, Cole is now wanted in Italy, with Juventus understood to
have made an enquiry for the 25-year-old. Juve coach Claudio Ranieri gave
Cole his professional debut at Chelsea in 2002 and still appears to be a fan
of the powerful front man. Cole undertook loan spells at Wolves, Charlton
and Aston Villa before leaving Chelsea on a permanent basis for West Ham in
the summer of 2006. During his time at Upton Park, Cole has scored 18 goals
in 80 appearances and is a key part of Gianfranco Zola's plans.
