The Associated Press, London | Sun, 07/18/2010 9:00 PM
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti says Ashley Cole
will remain at the club for the forthcoming season.
Ancelotti told Chelsea's website that Cole "will be an important
player for us next season. One hundred percent."
The Italian was responding to speculation linking the England
left back with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer,
Media reports have claimed Cole is a target for Spanish side Real
Madrid, whose new coach Jose Mourinho used to manage the defender at
Chelsea.
Ancelotti, who won the Premier League and FA Cup double with
Chelsea last season, also said he would not be looking to add
another striker to his squad for the new campaign.
Liverpool's Spain international Fernando Torres has been linked
with a move to Chelsea.
