Joe Cole knocks back offer from Spartak Moscow?

Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole has reportedly rejected the opportunity to join Spartak Moscow.

Brendan Rodgers is believed to be willing to let Cole leave Anfield before the end of the transfer window tomorrow and Spartak have tabled a lucrative offer to tempt the England international to Russia, according to Sky Sports News.

However, Cole has decided to turn down the offer despite seeming to be at the back of Liverpool's plans for the current season.

The 30-year-old has attracted interest from a number of clubs this summer after an impressive loan spell at Lille last year.

Moscow head coach Unai Emery is reportedly a big fan of Cole and the Russian club may launch a new bid before tomorrow's transfer deadline.
