Ashley Cole has signed a new four-year Chelsea deal to become the highest paid fullback
in the world.
The Sun says the Chelsea and England ace agreed a £120,000-a- week
deal as Blues fought off interest from Barcelona and Real
Madrid.
Chelsea owner Roman
Abramovich was desperate not to lose his star and handed him the
£25million contract.
Cole, 28, has hit the jackpot since quitting Arsenal in 2006 when he claimed they 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.
