I come here to win trophies...Cole

Ashley Cole says he's joined Chelsea to win trophies.

The England left-back, 25, who quit Arsenal for the Blues on deadline day last week, said: "I've always been a winner and, hopefully, I can play for years and years under this management and win things.
"I'd rather win the Premiership but winning the Champions League would be a great achievement and, hopefully, one day I'll pick it up."
Cole went to Stamford Bridge with France defender William Gallas going to the Emirates, along with £5million cash.
Cole added: "Hopefully I can prove to Chelsea I am here for good reasons. It has been a long time coming and I am glad to be here.
"I definitely have something to prove, coming from a rival club. But I can definitely say I am here for the good reasons - to win things.
"I chose Chelsea because of what they have done in the past few seasons.
"They have shown with the players they have brought in that they are a very ambitious club."
Cole played in the Three Lions' win in Macedonia this week. He added: "I've a fight on my hands with Wayne Bridge at left-back but, hopefully, I can play alongside JT, like at England."
