Agent: 'Carlton Cole has Premier League offers'

The agent of former West Ham United striker Carlton Cole has confirmed that his client is considering an offer from an unnamed Premier League club.

The England international is available on a free transfer after leaving the Hammers at the end of the season, with a number of clubs reported to be interested in his services.

"There are offers for Carlton from the Premier League, but also interest from Europe and big interest from MLS," his agent Saif Rubie told Sky Sports News.

"At this stage we are looking at the pros and cons of each offer professionally and financially as this is a very important next step in Carlton's career and the move has to be right for him. We hope we can make a decision on Carlton's future soon."

The 29-year-old has been strongly linked with West Bromwich Albion.
