Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini wants to keep departing Chelsea fullback Ashley Cole in England.

The People says Cole could also find himself a new Premier League home if Mancini has anything to do with it.

Mancini is keen to hijack Cole's move to Paris St Germain by offering him a deal that betters the terms Carlo Ancelotti will put before the England left-back when he is free to speak to him next month.
