It is understood that Chelsea defender Ashley Cole has agreed a new one year contract extension with the club.
The news has ended months of speculation regarding Cole's future as rumours suggested that he was preparing a departure from Stamford Bridge on free transfer. The left-back has been linked with a move to Real Madrid and Paris St Germain, however decided to turn down the offers and remain at the club which he joined in 2006.
The defender has 99 caps for England and was part of the team which beat Bayern Munich last year to win the Champions League. Also during his time at Chelsea has won the Premier League, four FA Cups and one League Cup rightfully earning him a place as one of the best left-backs in the world.
This only added to the surprise when new Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez announced that him and fellow Chelsea veteran Frank Lampard probably will not have a place in his future plans.Cole however, unlike Lampard, looks as if his future does lie at the club.
