da brwin: West Ham are set to make a summer move for former player Joe Cole, according to The Daily Mail.
The attacking midfielder spent the season on loan at Ligue 1 side Lille after finding opportunities at Liverpool limited, and as yet there has been no inclination over where Cole will play his football next term.
The French side are keen to keep the playmaker but cannot afford his £90,000-per-week wages, whilst the former England international will have to wait and talk to the Reds’ new boss before finding out whether he has a chance of playing at Anfield.
West Ham are ready to launch an ambitious transfer bid for Cole, with the main stumbling block being the player’s wages.
The Hammers are also thought to be keen on Nigel Reo-Coker and Kieran Richardson, as they look to strengthen their squad after gaining promotion to the Premier League through the Championship playoffs on Saturday.
