Tabloid tales: Spurs bid for strikers Cisse and Cole

The Sun stated that Tottenham has shown an interest in Chelsea forward Carlton Cole. The England Under 21 player had apparently been offered to Spurs in part payment for Frank Arnesen.

The report suggests Spurs made a fresh bid of £2m, but the Blues are unlikely to let him go after Tottenham's refusal to take the striker earlier this summer.
