Cole: I want to win trophies-FIFA.com
Joe Cole is looking forward to the challenge of playing for Liverpool, insisting his move to Merseyside was decided purely on football terms. Much was made of the wage demands - reportedly £90,000 per week - the England international was making having become a free agent following his release by Chelsea.
And having previously played for West Ham United he was expected to remain in London, with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur both interested, but was convinced Anfield was the place to start afresh. Cole said he remembered the atmosphere when he played at the ground for the Blues in the UEFA Champions League semi-final of 2005, which the Reds won on penalties before going on to lift the trophy in Istanbul, and was looking forward to experiencing that on a more regular basis.
"This is a massive club. I tried to take everything out of the equation, take the financial and location side out, and just thought in football terms," said the 28-year-old playmaker, who has signed a four-year contract after passing his medical.
