Harry Hoping For Cole Talks

Last updated : 08 June 2010 By Sam

Redknapp is a known admirer of the former West Ham forward and he is hoping to get the nod to open talks with Cole, who will be out of contract at Stamford Bridge this summer, once he returns from World Cup duty with England.

"Yes, I am prepared to declare my interest in Joe Cole," the Spurs boss told the Daily Express.

"Why not? He is a great player, his contract is up and he is on a free transfer.

"When he returns I would love to talk to him about coming to Spurs."
