Joe Cole signs for Liverpool
Joe Cole has signed for Liverpool on a four-year contract.
Cole was available on a free transfer after leaving Chelsea this summer. It is understood Liverpool have offered the 28-year-old a wage worth £90,000 a week.
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur were heavily linked with Cole, but he has decided his future will be at Anfield under new Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson.
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp wanted to bring Cole to White Hart Lane, but he has already started looking elsewhere for other players similar to Cole.
Cole left Chelsea after both parties failed to agree on a new deal, with Cole wanting a wage increase from £80,000 to £110,000 a week.
A statement from the Liverpool website read: "Liverpool FC are delighted to confirm the signing of Joe Cole on a four-year deal. The England midfielder has agreed personal terms with the Reds and will undergo a medical in the next 48 hours."
