Ashley Cole Reaches an Agreement on a New Contract at Chelsea: The Nightly EPL

Chelsea have reached an agreement with Ashley Cole to convince one of the best left backs in the game to extend his contract at the Stamford Bridge club.

Cole is expected to complete the deal next week. It’s believed to be a one-year extension.

It’s an important step forward for Rafa Benitez and the Chelsea faithful. While it looks unlikely, it’d be wonderful if the Blues could extend the same opportunity to star midfielder Frank Lampard, although that appears doubtful.
