Tottenham keen on Joe Cole

Harry Redknapo admits he would be interested in bringing Liverpool's out-of-favour midfielder Joe Cole to Tottenham

Cole turned down an offer from Spurs in order to move to Merseyside last summer, but has failed to establish himself as a first-team regular since.

Reds manager Kenny Dalglish cast further doubt on Cole's future at Anfield by bolstering his midfield this summer with the signings of Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing.

And the 29-year-old has not made the Scot's bench for the club's first two games of the campaign.

Redknapp, who signed Cole as a youngster when he was manager at West Ham, still believes the midfielder can have an impact in the Premier League.

He said: "I like Joe. I signed him as an 11-year-old. He is a good player.

"I've got all the time in the world for him. We haven't made any enquiries about him but I wouldn't sit here and say I wouldn't have him at the club because if I did I'd be lying. I do like him."
