3) Ashley Cole – Unattached
Cole is available on a free transfer from Chelsea, and it seems a no-brainer that Liverpool should try to sign the former England international, who racked up over 100 caps for his country. He’s defensively uncompromising, which with Liverpool’s below-par defensive record last term, will be much appreciated at Anfield. A host of clubs, including Real Madrid and Monaco are also monitoring his situation, however.
