COLE MINE SAYS ROY
By Scott Loney
ROY KEANE will move for his ex-Manchester United team-mate Andy Cole in the next 48 hours.
Sport of the World understands Sunderland boss Keane contacted the Portsmouth hitman earlier this week.
But the free transfer was held up as Cole, 35, thrashed out a six-figure pay-off from Pompey.
That has now been resolved and Cole is expecting to sign a one-year deal worth £32,000 a week with the possible option of a further 12 months. The ex-England ace has spent a frustrating year at Fratton Park since his £500,000 switch from Manchester City.
But Keane is convinced Cole can once again form a profitable partnership with Dwight Yorke after their Old Trafford success.
A close friend of Cole's said: "Andrew is quite surprised by Roy's interest but he didn't have to think too long about making a decision.
"He thinks Sunderland are going places."
