Stoke City's top-brass are believed to be ready to give the green-light to breaking their club record transfer fee for West Ham United striker Carlton Cole.
According to the Daily Mirror, the Potters are set to offer a staggering £12 million for the 26-year-old former England international.
David Sullivan, West Ham’s co-owner, has publically stated he is willing to listen to offers for any player this summer, apart from captain Scott Parker.
Cole, who missed out on a place in England’s World Cup 2010 squad, is one of the names who could potentially boost the Hammer's coffers with a large transfer fee.
Reports suggest that Stoke boss Tony Pulis is looking for a number of attacking additions this summer, something which he is in dire need of after his side's goalless pre-season friendly last week against Notts County.
Any money from Cole's potential sale would enable the Hammers to buy at least two new strikers, one of which is reportedly Argentine striker Milton Caragilo.
The 22-year-old, who currently plays for Roasario Central, holds an Italian passport and is currently in Italy talking to interested clubs, although he's due in England next week for talks with West Ham’s board.
