Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has not given up hope of signing Joe Cole on a free transfer this summer, despite Goal.com UK exclusively revealing that he had agreed to join Arsenal last month.
The England international is out of contract after failing to agree terms on a new deal with Chelsea, and despite a move on the cards to join the Gunners, Redknapp is still confident of tempting the midfielder away from their north London rivals.
“I have spoken to Joe [Cole]. I thought he would have done a deal with another club but I don’t think he has. If it’s possible to get him I would like him,” Redknapp told Talksport.
“I think there’s a good chance. Three weeks ago I didn’t think it could happen. He’s got lots of options; quite a few clubs want him. It won’t be easy but we’ve got as good a chance as any.
“I had a good relationship with him as a kid. He’s still got that enthusiasm.”
Manchester United have denied any contact with the 28-year-old former West Ham United player, and recent reports have linked the midfielder with a move to Serie A
