Ashley Cole has become the world’s highest paid full-back after signing a new four-year contract worth £120,000-a-week at Chelsea.
The 28-year-old was receiving interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona but Blues owner Roman Abramovich was desperate not to lose his star and handed him the lucrative deal, The Sun reports.
Cole moved to Stamford Bridge from Arsenal in 2006, when he claimed the Gunners made a derisory offer for him to stay.
He has become one of the Premier League's most consistent performers and his 74 England caps underline how highly he is rated at international level.
