Cole may give evidence to ‘tapping’ probe

The Premier League have written to both clubs for their observations on reports the England player was 'tapped up'. Once those responses are returned, the governing body will then decide how to proceed, with a formal commission likely to be set up.

While agreement over a specific date for such a hearing to start would be likely to take some time, once the process is under way, the commission could then seek representation from all parties, and may ask Cole for his comments, albeit in the form of a written statement.
