Redknapp still a fan of Cole

24 August 2011 12:30

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has declared an interest in signing Liverpool's out-of-favour midfielder Joe Cole.

Cole turned down an offer from Spurs in order to move to Merseyside last summer, but the switch has not worked well for the Londoner, who failed to establish himself as a first-team regular last season.

"I like Joe. I signed him as an 11-year-old. He is a good player," said Redknapp. "I've got all the time in the world for him. We haven't made any enquiries about him but I wouldn't sit here and say I wouldn't have him at the club because if I did I'd be lying. I do like him."

Redknapp is short of options in midfield after a series of injuries hit his squad.
