JOE COLE wants to join Champions League qualifiers Spurs.
Cole's Chelsea contract ends this summer and he would jump at the chance to be re-united with his old boss Harry Redknapp.
Spurs clinched a place in Europe's biggest club competition with their 1-0 win at Manchester City on Wednesday.
But Cole, 28, was already looking to White Hart Lane even before that result.
The England midfielder has been mulling over a huge offer from City themselves and knows of interest from Liverpool.
But he does not want to move north and Spurs would suit him if they can come up with wages over the £100,000-a-week mark.
However that could be a stumbling block as until now they have been reluctant to go above £60,000.
Redknapp nurtured Cole from the age of 14 at West Ham.
The Spurs boss is also interested in a fresh move for Craig Bellamy, whom he missed out on last year.
He is also keen on midfielder Steven Pienaar, who has 12 months left on his Everton contract.
