Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has underlined his desire to sign Joe Cole.
Cole is now a free agent after his Chelsea contract expired last week, and Spurs are thought to be at the head of the queue to land the England international. And Spurs striker Jermain Defoe would love to be reunited with the player he played alongside at West Ham United.
Redknapp told Sky Sports News: "I signed Joe as an 11-year-old at West Ham. I think he is an outstanding player, a great professional and a top, top player. I would love to have Joe at Tottenham but there are lots of clubs in for him.
"We will have to wait and see, we are not close to doing anything with Joe really.''
Defoe added: "When we were in South Africa (you could see) every day his passion and his drive to want to improve.
"In training he was sharp and he was strong, he just loves football - that's Joe. So if we could get someone like that at the club it would be good for everyone.''
