Joe Cole would welcome the opportunity to make his stay at Lille permanent, but concedes that any decision regarding his future rests with Liverpool.

The England international is edging towards the end of a season-long loan agreement with the reigning French champions. Having been deemed surplus to requirements at Anfield, it appears unlikely that he will be drafted back into the Reds fold this summer. Cole admits he would rather bring the curtain down on a forgettable spell on Merseyside, with a high-profile switch in 2010 having failed to live up to expectations. The 30-year-old has enjoyed his time in Ligue 1 with Lille, with regular football rekindling his passion for the game, and he is waiting to learn what Liverpool have planned for him. "I've not spoken to anyone at Liverpool," he said in the Liverpool Echo.
