London, July 14(ANI): Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has said that he wants to sign Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole.
Redknapp, who signed a new contract at Spurs that keeps him at White Hart Lane until 2013, said: "I'm delighted to sign, now I want Joe here with me."
The 63-year-old is prepared to leave no stone unturned in his pursuit of Cole, and is prepared to offer him a regular place in the Spurs' team, something which the midfielder could not nail down at Chelsea.
Talks between Cole's agent and Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy have reached a crucial stage with the England star demanding 100,000 pounds a week.
"I managed Joe when I was at West Ham, I signed him for the club when he was just 11. We have always had a good relationship. I know what makes Joe tick - it's his love of the game and his need to be playing it. That is what I am offering him," The Sun quoted Redknapp, as saying.
"I would like Joe here with me, but it is now up to the club, Joe, his dad and his agent. Daniel is talking and trying to do a deal. If it is beyond us in financial terms I can appreciate that, but I am hoping other factors will come into play to make up Joe's mind," he added.
Chelsea released the 28-year-old last month after he refused a new contract. (ANI)
