Spurs To Move For Cole If Modric Quits For Chelsea

Tottenham are set to renew their interest in Joe Cole - if Luka Modric is allowed to go to Chelsea.

Liverpool outcast Cole looks destined to leave Anfield after just a year and he could be reunited with his old Hammers boss Harry Redknapp at White Hart Lane.

Cole is surplus to requirements on Merseyside following the summer arrival of Jordan Henderson from Sunderland, but the 29-year-old’s move south depends on Spurs granting Modric his dream move across London to Chelsea.

Tottenham are determined that any deal for Modric will include Didier Drogba moving in the opposite direction, but the strict wage structure at Spurs is likely to prove a stumbling block to that move.

The 33-year-old Ivory Coast international is reportedly earning £120,000 per week at Stamford Bridge.
