Cole pledge his future with Arsenal
|
Ashley Cole has told Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger he's prepared to play for the club this season.
The People says in a new twist to a transfer tug-of-war between Arsenal and Chelsea that has dragged on all summer, defender Cole revealed he is ready to remain a Gunner for one more year.
The news will send shock-waves through Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea's power-brokers, who have already offered £16.7m, are desperately trying to put together a financial package to get their man.
An Arsenal insider said: "Ashley made the offer because he doesn't see how the move will be completed in time.
"He thought he would be the one to end the transfer saga - for this year at least.
"But now he is worried about staying and being hated by the fans."
Cole also has a book on hold in which he criticises Arsenal for the way he has been treated since the Chelsea tapping-up row.
