FTN: Ashley Cole<\/a>, Rossi, Morata and Werner<\/h1>\n

Cole Set for Derby<\/h2>\n

Ashley Cole<\/a> is reportedly<\/a> set to join former team-mate Frank Lampard<\/a> at Derby County. Lampard, who is now manager at Derby, is keen to bring Cole in until the end of the season.<\/p>\n

The former Chelsea<\/a> left-back is currently out of contract. He was released by LA Galaxy at the end of last season. The 38-year-old last played in England in 2014, following his release by the Blues.<\/p>\n

Short Term Deal for Rossi at Spurs?<\/h2>\n

Giuseppe Rossi<\/a> is reportedly a target for Spurs<\/a>. The Italian is currently training with former club Manchester United<\/a>. This is as he searches for a new club, having left Genoa last season.<\/p>\n

Any deal is likely to be a pay-as-you-play deal. This is due to Rossi’s injury record. However, Spurs are looking to sign another striker after Harry Kane’s injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Morata Edging Closer to a Move?<\/h2>\n

Alvaro Morata<\/a> is close to sealing his move away from Chelsea<\/a>. According to Sky Sports<\/a>, he is in advanced talks with Atletico Madrid. However, it is not known whether it will be a permanent transfer or a loan. Chelsea value the striker at \u00a345 million.<\/p>\n

Morata has had a torrid time in England. He currently has just five goals in the Premier League this season. Having signed for \u00a375 million<\/a>, Chelsea would have expected more from the Spaniard. His departure may also signal the arrival of Gonzalo Higuain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Timo Werner<\/a> to Liverpool?<\/h2>\n

Timo Werner<\/a> is reportedly attracting interest<\/a> from Liverpool.<\/a> The German has 11 Bundesliga goals this season. He would add competition to Roberto Firmino<\/a>, and would suit Liverpool’s new 4-2-3-1 system.<\/p>\n

The Reds may face competition for Werner. Bayern Munich<\/a> are also reportedly keen in the German youngster.<\/p>\n
