Harry Redknapp in  Joe Cole plea
Above: Harry Redknapp is convinced he can end Joe Cole’s Liverpool misery

Harry Redknapp last night urged Liverpool misfit Joe Cole to get his priorities right and join him at Spurs.

Harry Redknapp is convinced he can end Joe Cole’s Liverpool misery and turn him back into a star at Tottenham. But the 29-year-old former England man’s massive £90,000-a-week wages are a huge stumbling block.

Redknapp said: “Would he have to put football ahead of wages? Oh yeah. But I like Joe.

“I wouldn’t say to you that I wouldn’t sign him, because I’d be lying.

“I’d love the chance to work with him again, because I think he’s a talent and a great lad.

“He’s a smashing boy who gives everything every time he plays.

“I just think if I could get him at it again and get him playing he could still do it.

“I signed him when he was 11 at West Ham. I watched him grow up. He was the best young footballer I’ve ever seen.

“I’ve never seen anyone who could come anywhere near him.

“Could I get him back to where he was? I think so, yeah.”

Starsport understands Liverpool are willing to discuss selling Cole, who still has three years left on his lucrative contract.

However, Cole is unwilling to quit Anfi eld permanently, with a loan move more likely. QPR are also interested.
