Arsenal heap pressure on Chelsea over Cole

Video Safari

Arsenal are ready to increase the pressure on Chelsea over their interest in Ashley Cole.

The Gunners have until midnight to submit a list of 25 names to UEFA for next week's third qualifying round showdown at Dinamo Zagreb.
Should Arsene Wenger use Cole in the first leg it will leave him cup-tied for the Champions League.
The England left-back is desperate to move to Chelsea but the clubs are at loggerheads over the fee.
Arsenal want £25million while the Blues are dragging their heels after having a £15.5m bid rejected.
Gunners boss Wenger may now use the Champions League to get the deal his club wants.
A cup-tied Cole will be virtually useless to Blues chief Jose Mourinho.
