Anzhi offer Chelsea fullback Cole £200,000-a-week
Anzhi Makhachkala are planning a stunning offer for Chelsea fullback Ashley Cole.
The Sun says Russian mega-spenders Anzhi Makhachkala are ready to offer the 30-year-old £200,000 a week.
Anzhi — backed by billionaire owner Suleyman Kerimov — have already handed Samuel Eto'o a monster £350,000-a-week deal.
Now Cole, whose Chelsea contract runs out at the end of next season, has emerged as their latest target.
And the England defender will be sorely tempted by the cash — and the prospect of a four-year contract.
Anzhi's player-coach Roberto Carlos has recommended Cole as his successor at left-back.

Ashely Cole has been rubbish for the past 3 seasons. He doesn't make many mistakes, but the ones he makes are very costly and tend to be at crucial moments. He's a liability now. Chelsea should consider his age and the ridiculous money Anzhi are willing to part with and say their good byes. He's very cocky as well. He's always showing disrespect on the pitch. He never does any wrong, it's always other people's fault.
I stand by Roman's Soldier, Chelsea should take advantage of selling ASHLEY COLE to Russian club and make good money and then start giving Patrick Van Anholt and Ryan Bertrand opportunity.
Tapping Up? If I were Chelsea I would have a minder on Cole 24/7.
I think if a big enough offer comes in for Cole, Chelsea should take it. I would love to see Patrick Van Anholt given a run in that position if Cole goes. Patrick is a great player, and faster than Ash down the left hand side. We also have Ryan Bertrand who is developing into a brilliant player.
