Tottenham could be set for a shock move for free agent Carlton Cole, after
the striker was reported to have featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly
for Andre Villas-Boas' side.
Twitter was awash with rumours that former West Ham striker Cole, who was
released from Upton Park at the end of last season, hit two goals against
non-league Enfield Town at Spurs' training ground today, with record signing
Roberto Soldado also reportedly bagging a hat-trick.
But it is unclear whether the 29-year-old is being lined up for a place in
Villas-Boas' squad next term, or whether he is simply maintaining his
fitness in the hope a top-flight club will move for him before the start of
the season.

Reports last month suggested newly promoted Crystal Palace were keen on
taking Cole to Selhurst Park, but any potential deal seems to have fallen by
the wayside.
As for Tottenham, they are still on the lookout for a new frontman after
Clint Dempsey quit White Hart Lane to join Seattle Sounders last weekend,
while Emmanuel Adebayor could yet be on his way out of the club.
