On Monday, he signed a four-year contract with England national team defender Joe Cole.

The 28-year-old footballer left London's Chelsea after the contract expired and was looking for a new team. The most interested teams were London's Tottenham and Liverpool, but 'The Reds' managed to lure Cole by guaranteeing him a solid salary, unofficially reported to be around 106,000 euros per week, and a place in the starting lineup.

Within the next 48 hours, he will undergo a medical examination and complete other formalities.

Let's remind that a few weeks ago, Chelsea purchased Liverpool defender Yossi Benayoun for 7 million euros, who is expected to be replaced by Cole at Liverpool.
