The 28-year-old who had been having injury worries for the past two seasons made a “dream move” to Liverpool as Chelsea released the player after the two sides could not agree on the salary the Englishman wanted.
It has been revealed that the English International had signed a four year deal with Liverpool after passing a medical on Monday.
Joe Cole is now reportedly in Switzerland in the clubs summer training camp where he went through a physical examination and then joined the team in training.
Many Premiership clubs including Tottenham and Arsenal and clubs from Europe had been interested in transferring the attacking midfielder but Liverpool were the only team to except Cole’s £90,000-per-week salary demands.
The former Chelsea star who spent the past seven seasons in West London will be wearing the number 10 shirt number.
Cole who spoke to the Mirror said “I have come here to be a success, and my target is to play as many games as I can in this team and achieve something great for the club.
“I believe I can be part of a team that is capable of doing great things. I will fight to try and win trophies for this club.
“There are world class players here and I am excited about the chance to play alongside them.
“I am proud to be playing for this club and will give my all in every training session and every game to help the club be successful and put some pots in the trophy cabinet.”
But the new Liverpool attacking midfielder has said that the transfer was not on grounds of salary but because Liverpool are the “biggest team in the Premiership.”
Cole said“I think players can play for other clubs but with Liverpool you have to live and breathe it. It’s that kind of a place – and I am excited by the challenge,”.
“I made my decision purely on football terms and I came here because this is a massive club.
“When I knew Liverpool were interested it was a no-brainer because they are the biggest club in the country.
“Everyone knows it’s a massive club but until you sign you don’t realise quite how big. I have people on my phone who I didn’t even know were Liverpool fans. It seems everyone I bump into is a Liverpool fan – it’s a huge, huge club and it’s a dream come true.”
