Lille manager Rudi Garcia has reportedly confirmed that Joe Cole will play for Liverpool next season following a loan stint at the French club.
The future of the former Chelsea star has been up in the air in recent weeks after his loan agreement from the Reds to Lille came to an end.
New Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers recently claimed that he will have to consider the position of Cole in his side along with fellow midfielder Alberto Aquilani.
Despite questions over his future, Garcia has reportedly told Canal+ that Cole will head back to Anfield for next season.
