Former Chelsea star Ashley Cole admits he chose AS Roma over a raft of lucrative offers. The England legend also says he's excited to be playing alongside Francesco Totti.
"Why Roma? It's a great club with real ambition," he told Roma Channel.
"Last year they came second. I talked with the Coach and he expressed the ambitions he had and showed a real will to win.
"I want to contribute to a team that will win the League. I received offers from other, small teams, but I didn't want to just lie on a beach.
"I came here to win. I have won a lot in my career, but I don't want to stop.
"I faced Totti several teams, the first when I was 19, 20. He was extraordinary.
"He's a god here. I'm sure we'll have a good chat soon."
