Scott Duxbury's resolve not to sell players to Tottenham is being tested less than 48 hours after he made the statement, according to reports this morning.
Duxbury, speaking via the Independent's Jason Burt earlier this week insisted that, given a preference, he would no longer allow United players to join Tottenham.But according to this morning's Daily Star, that staement is being put to the test already as Spurs have recently lodged an £8million bid for the former Chelsea striker.
26-year-old Cole is the Premier League's in-form striker at present, having scored a goal in each of his last five games. Tottenham are thought to have moved for Cole at the start of January but, according to the story, are ready to revive their interest.
Cole, who was signed by Alan Pardew from Chelsea for £2million back in 2007 was recently awarded a new five-year-contract. Since signing the new deal he has found prolific form, and has now scored nine goals this season - just six shy of the target he set himself back in August.
