Former Chelsea star Joe Cole hopes to enjoy some big success at Liverpool, which he considers to be “the biggest club in England”.
The England international believes that the history, tradition and tremendous supporters made his move to the Reds a “no-brainer”.
“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,” Cole told The Mirror.
“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.”
Cole is adamant that Liverpool are good enough to surprise the critics that think the Reds will struggle under Roy Hodgson this season.
“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.”
