TOTTENHAM striker Frazier Campbell has revealed that he hopes to follow in the footsteps of his idol Andy Cole.

The 20-year-old forward, who is on loan at White Hart Lane from Manchester United, admitted he has moulded himself on the ex-England striker since a young age, while he has also been picking his brain about how he can improve his game.

"Andy was there when I first went to United and I was a bit awestruck at first, but it was great," said Campbell.

"I probably model myself on him a little because I watched him such a lot.

"I always thought, I want to be Andy Cole today, at school and stuff like that which never did me any harm. When I was younger I didn't used to support a team, I used to just support Andy Cole. He was the person I watched every week.

"He was really helpful to me. I even chat to him nowadays and he gives me tips on how to develop my game. He's been a mentor to me.

"He's given me advice on just about everything - his experiences in the game, what he did in training, what he did out of training. Just life advice really."
