Cole will defs leave Blues – ‘appy ‘arry

Joe Cole will definitely leave Chelsea in the summer, claims Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp. And while Redknapp would love to sign a player he worked with years ago at West Ham, he has conceded that the out-of-contract midfielder will probably not be at White Hart Lane next season. "I am a big fan of his but the feedback we've got is that he's already signed for somebody else," said Redknapp on Tuesday. "Certainly in the summer someone is going to make a very good free signing if he doesn't stay at Chelsea. I don't think it's going to be Tottenham that sign him but if he hasn't agreed a deal with somebody and he doesn't stay at Chelsea then we would be interested." The 29-year-old has been strongly linked with moves to both Manchester United and Manchester City.
