Game changer: Joe Cole did his future career chances little harm with an excellent half against Japan
Arsenal have made an inquiry about the possibility of signing Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole but he has yet to make a decision on the move.
Cole is a free agent but his wage demands of £120,000 a week have proved too much for Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool.
Manchester United remain interested and Cole is expected to hold further talks this week.
Meanwhile Chelsea are continuing to monitor £15m-rated Shakhtar Donetsk right-back Darijo Srna but are weighing up other priority positions first.
Maybe if his World Cup performances is good, Chelsea will offer the wages he want.
i think joe is as good as gone if kaka arrive.
