Carlton Cole on loan to Everton?

A friend of Carlton Cole has declared that the striker may leave Upton Park on loan for the season; with Everton apparently one of his options.

The talented striker, much like colleagues Scott Parker and Rob Green, is eager to make a move away from Upton Park in search of Premiership first team football.

However, with the Hammers looking for approximately 8m GBP to release Cole - who has two years left on his current contract - it is understood West Ham would let the player leave on loan for the season.
