Champions League winner Didi Hamann has backed Joe Cole to bring the glory days back to Liverpool.
The German reckons luring Cole to Anfield is the club’s biggest coup in a decade – and it will transform Roy Hodgson’s under-achievers into challengers once again.
Hamann said: “If you had asked me two weeks ago I would have said doom and gloom but the arrival of Joe Cole has made a hell of a difference.
“For a London boy to go up north, which hasn’t really happened in the last few years, and to turn down Spurs, Arsenal, maybe Real Madrid to go to Liverpool sends a massive statement out to the rest of the league.”
Hamann, 36, back in England as player-coach with MK Dons, added: “It’s probably the best bit of news for the club in the last 10 years.”
