Ben Gordon hopes he can have a future with Chelsea.
The left-back is on-loan at Kilmarnock until January.
While Gordon admits it would be impossible to dislodge Cole from left back, he reckons he's learning from the best. He said: "The first team are very helpful - especially Ashley.
"He is one of the best left backs in the world - along with Patrice Evra and Gael Clichy - if not the best so if he gives me advice, I take it. He gets better and better every year."
