The worst has happened. It is being reported this morning that Ashley Cole has spoken to Carlo Ancelotti, and told him that he wants to leave England to get away from the flak over his acrimonious, and very public, divorce from Cheryl Cole.

A “source” told Sport of the World this morning: “It was a very amicable meeting, but Ashley made it clear that because of his personal situation he feels it is in his best interests to leave the club.

The ex-Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has made Ashley Cole his top target since arriving at Real Madrid this summer, and the Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has heard that it is very likely that Cole will be his new team-mate next season.

He said: “From what I am hearing the signs look good.

“I have only briefly spoken to people at the club but I am confident that he can be a Real Madrid player next year.

The England Ambassador David Beckham has picked his “best team” from all the talent on show at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and he only thinks that one England player was good enough to be rated in the top XI, Chelsea’s Ashley Cole!

Here are Beckham’s choices, courtesy of Yahoo! Sport:

According to the Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos, both the Chelsea defender Ashley Cole and Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard are likely to end up at Real Madrid this summer.

He said: “We are a club that is always looking to improve by adding the best players in the world.

There has been numerous rumours lately that the Chelsea defender Ashley Cole could be looking for pastures anew as he now has to come to terms with the breakup of his marriage to the gorgeous Cheryl, but it seems that he has eassured the club that he has absolutely no intention of leaving Stamford Bridge anytime in the near future.

There have been many rumours that Ashley Cole may try to move away from London if his acrimonious divorce from Cheryl comes to pass, which is now looking extremely likely.

Well it now looks like his old boss Jose Mourinho is keen on taking Ashley to Real Madrid, where he intends using four defenders in their new formation.

There is some serious Chelsea transfer news about today, and the Double winners (I love saying that!) are being linked with some of the most famous players in the world.

You can’t get much bigger than Kaka, who is an ex-World Player of the Year, and the second most expensive signing ever (behind his team-mate Ronaldo of course). For some reason, the News Of The World seems to think that Real Marid will be prepared to sell him after an on-and-off season, and will be rebuilding the team again after another trophyless year.

The main bit of Chelsea transfer news today is that Ancelotti is planning a summer clearout of all the oldies in the team, to make room for the youngsters being promoted from the reserves, and perhaps a “marquee signing?”

Carlo Ancelotti is a bit short of defenders for tomorrows game against Stoke City, and he will pick his first Chelsea team that hasn’t got his captain John Terry on the teamsheet, for the first time since his arrival at Stamford Bridge, but he thinks that he has got an able deputy in Branislav Ivanovich.

Chelsea have lost most of their defenders in recent weeks, but there is hope on the horizon as it has been announced today that Ashley Cole has resumed training and will be rejoining the squad in two weeks time.

Ancelotti said: “Cole will definitely play this season. He will be ready for the World Cup.

“I’ve not spoken to Fabio Capello about this but the England staff are in contact with our medical staff.
