According to reports from The Sun, former Arsenal and Chelsea defender Ashley Cole looks set to sign for MLS outfit LA Galaxy.
The ex-England international registered 228 appearances for Arsenal and 338 for Chelsea – winning three Premier League titles, seven FA Cups, the 2012 Champions League title and 107 Three Lions caps in the process – before leaving the English top flight for Roma in summer 2014.

But the 34-year-old went on to make just seven Serie A appearances for Giallorossi last season and had his contract terminated in August – although other sources have suggested he’s still officially on the books at Stadio Olympico.
In recent weeks, Cole has been linked with a return to the Premier League and most particularly with Aston Villa, after manager Remi Garde told reporters earlier this month; “Ashley is someone who has experience, but he didn’t play for a while now. Every good player is interesting for me and he is a good player.”
But according to The Sun, the relegation-threatened Villains are set to miss out on the left-back as he edges closer to joining MLS side LA Galaxy. The move would see him link up with former England team-mate Steven Gerrard and ex-Tottenham striker Robbie Keane.
