Tottenham are chasing
Chelsea winger Joe Cole.
The Sunday Mirror says England midfield player Cole is
in the last year of his contract and as yet has not agreed a new
deal.
At 27, he is, in his words, approaching the best five years of
his career. That career was interrupted by a serious knee injury
suffered in January in an FA Cup replay at Southend. He is
progressing towards fitness but insists he will not be back until
he is 100 per cent ready.
The comeback is being monitored by Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp. He knows Cole
well. He signed him at West Ham
and gave his debut when he was only 17.
Redknapp wants to bolster his squad before the transfer window
closes at the end of the month and Cole is high on his wish
list.
