Man City: after Joe Cole?

Man City are set ot make an audacious January move for Chelsea's midfielder Joe Cole. The Citizens are keen to add further strength to their midfield after a relatively imppressive start to the new season.

Chelsea are likely to rebuff any move for the player, but the guarantee of first-team football at City and the support of ex-England boss Sven Goran Eriksson could change Joe Cole's mind.

Joe Cole is valued by Chelsea at more than £15m, and Thaksin Shinawatra's millions could tempt the England international to Manchester.
