Sport.co.uk understands that Joe Cole will make a decision on his future when he returns from holiday this week with Liverpool, Arsenal, and North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur the confirmed interested parties.
A representative close to the deal confirmed that Cole would make a decision on his future when he returns from holiday this week with the former Hammer and Chelsea midfielder weighing up offers from Arsene Wenger, Harry Redknap, and Roy Hodgson according to our sources.
Cole is not keen on a move abroad with the 28-year-old England international set to choose between two North London rivals Spurs and Arsenal, or a move to Liverpool to play under new manager Roy Hodgson. However, it is thought each manager is eager to meet with Cole when the winger returns from holiday in an attempt to persuade Cole to join.
Cole has stated that the best years of his career were still ahead of him, and that he wanted to play for a new manager who “loves” him. It is further understood that the player is keen to start a more central role in the midfield of his new club and that failure to get such a guarantee from potential suitors could push him elsewhere.
