ROME - Former England defender Ashley Cole has arrived in Italy for a medical with AS Roma and is expected to sign a two-year deal with the Serie A club.
"Welcome to Rome, Ashley", said the Italian club on their official Twitter feed, publishing a photo of the former Chelsea player on his arrival at Fiumicino airport yesterday morning.
According to the Italian media, left-back Cole is set to sign a two-year deal worth ?2.3-million (about R33.6-million) a year, with an option for a third season, as Roma look to strengthen their squad ahead of their return to the Champions League next season.
