England veteran given generous welcome to Italy.
After the shock news that Ashley Cole is set to sign for Serie A giants Roma, he was given a rapturous welcome by the club’s fans at the airport on Monday morning as he flew in for talks with his prospective new employers.
The club’s most passionate supporters somehow found out where to find him upon arrival, and in similar scenes to Kevin Strootman’s arrival last summer they spilled out en force to greet the ex-England star.
Flanked by some beefy bodyguards, the former Chelsea and Arsenal defender met a wall of Roma fans armed with phones and cameras, and when tried to move through them he was mobbed and had to be protected by his burley protectors.
