Queens Park Rangers have offered Joe Cole the chance to revive his Premier League career on a season-long loan from Liverpool.

The 29-year-old former Chelsea midfielder has endured a difficult time at Anfield, where he made only nine Premier League starts last season and barely featured after Kenny Dalglish replaced Roy Hodgson as manager in January. Liverpool are keen to get his £90,000-a-week contract off their wage bill.

West Ham United are also interested in their former player, who is believed to have put his Merseyside home up for sale. But the prospect of remaining in the top flight may sway Cole towards QPR, providing they meet Liverpool's financial requirements.
