TURKISH giants Besiktas are lining up a £3m move for West Ham striker Carlton Cole.
The former England Under-21 international, 23, joined the Hammers only a year ago in a £2m switch from Chelsea. Sources close to Besiktas say a bid for Cole is imminent.
He made just five Premiership starts last season but scored twice in the league as he battled competition for a place. And even though Carlos Tevez is bound for Manchester United, Craig Bellamy signed last week and Dean Ashton is returning from longterm injury.
