Cole admits he considered Chelsea exit

Ashley Cole has admitted Carlo Ancelotti talked him into staying at Chelsea - and now he wants to extend his spell at Stamford Bridge.

England left back Cole confessed he was close to quitting the double winners in the summer at the height of his off-the-field troubles, with Jose Mourinho desperate to take him to Real Madrid.

But Ancelotti persuaded Cole to carry on - despite Chelsea being so concerned he would go that they lined up Portuguese star Fabio Coentrao as his replacement.

Cole said: "There was a time in my head where I thought I needed to leave England, but I had a sit-down with the manager and he made it clear I was going nowhere, so it was end of story."
