Tottenham Rule Out Move For Liverpool Star

Liverpool winger Joe Cole will not be heading to Tottenham Hotspur, after sources close to the club ruled out a move.

The England International has been linked with a move back to London, after an unsuccessful first season in Merseyside, which has been blighted with injury and poor form.

However, sources have told Sportsvibe that Cole will not be heading to White Hart Lane, as the player does not feature in boss Harry Redknapp's plans for next season.

We reported over the weekend how Liverpool chief John W. Henry is looking to slash the wage bill at Anfield, with Cole part of a contingent of players who are paid in excess of £100,000-per-week.

Cole, who joined Liverpool on a Bosman-ruling last summer from Chelsea was looking to reinvigorate his career, but has so far failed to do so under the stewardship of Roy Hodgson and now Kenny Dalglish.

With the club increasingly linked with moves for Aston Villa duo Ashley Young and Stewart Downing, it appears as though Cole's days at Anfield are numbered.

The West Ham graduate has also been linked with a shock move to Premier League new-boys Queens Park Rangers in a £3 million deal.
