Spurs, Man Utd, Liverpool queue for Chelsea’s Cole

There will be no shortage of takers for Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole if he cannot agree terms over a new deal before June.

The Daily Mail says having worked with Cole at West Ham, Harry Redknapp would be among those looking to capitalise on the player's apparent fall-out with Chelsea.

Redknapp has a decent stable of wingers at Tottenham and the player most at threat would be one of his outstanding players of the season so far - Niko Kranjcar - but Cole has the versatility to slot into any side.

Redknapp will, of course, know that he would not be the only suitor. Redknapp often spoke of how Sir Alex Ferguson would always ask after Cole when he was at Upton Park and there is most definitely room for a wide player of his ability at Old Trafford. As there is, Rafa Benitez would doubtless agree, at Liverpool. Cole or Albert Riera? There really is no contest.
