Hammers Linked With Cole Move

West Ham is being linked with a summer swoop for Joe Cole, who could be surplus to requirements at Liverpool.

After just one season for the Reds Liverpool are said to be preparing to part company with Cole after the former Chelsea ace failed to make an impact and has started just eight league games.

The Hammers are being linked with the player as are Spurs as he would apparently prefer a move back to London but it is highly unlikely that either side would be prepared to pay the reported asking price of £10m.

Liverpool are thought to want around that figure for a player who cost them nothing but is thought to earn around £100,000 a week at Anfield, after a largely anonymous season it is unlikely they will get it.

As with all their supposed summer targets West Ham will not be able to finalize any transfer dealings until they know whether they are in the Premier League or not next season.
