Gerrard likens new Liverpool teammate Cole to Messi, Ronaldo

Joe Cole is moving to Liverpool in a deal worth £19 million to the former Chelsea midfielder. The England midfielder has signed a four-year deal worth £90,000 a week.

Cole, 28, gets the No 7 shirt - the same as Reds icon Kenny Dalglish - after leaving Chelsea as a free agent this summer.

Anfield skipper Steven Gerrard is a massive fan.

He said: "Joe's as good as Leo Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo on the ball and he'll give any player a run for their money when it comes to tricks."
