Ashley Cole is trying to force his exit at Arsenal. According to the Daily Mirror the British defender told Arsenal chairman David Dein he would never play for Arsenal again. The 25-year-old Cole wants to leave the club and would love to join champions Chelsea.
Cole has asked Dein to talk to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich about a transfer. Chelsea have offered £16.5million while Arsenal are holding out for £25m - and the player's determination to leave will dramatically reduce Dein's bargaining power.
Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger said about the issue: "If Ashley is going to be sold he will be informed and if he is staying he will be informed about that as well. But he is still under contract and no-one else will decide what he does."
"It is frustrating to still be talking about one player who is not with us in Austria when we have 25 who are working hard preparing for the season."
