Carlton Cole is talking to one other club as he weighs up a move to Crystal Palace.

A source close to the Croydon-born striker has confirmed a move back to south London is an option for the 29-year-old, but that he has not yet made up his mind whether to join Ian Holloway's men or another team that is trying to lure his services.

Cole was released by West Ham United this summer after seven seasons in east London and has been on the look-out for a new club ever since.

He was linked with Palace earlier in the summer but the two parties were understood to be quite far apart on wages.
