Spurs wants Joe Cole to join

HARRY REDKNAPP has signed a new contract at Spurs - now he wants Joe Cole to join him.

The Tottenham manager, 63, put pen to paper on a deal that keeps him at White Hart Lane until 2013.
He admitted: "I'm delighted to sign, now I want Joe here with me."
Redknapp is prepared to leave no stone unturned in his pursuit of Cole and is prepared to offer him a regular place in Spurs' team - something the England 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 - who is also interesting Arsenal and Manchester City - demanding £100,000 a week.
Redknapp said: "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.
"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."
Cole, 28, was released by Chelsea on a free last month after he refused a new contract.
He turned down all offers of extending his stay because he wanted regular football which the Blues could not guarantee.
