On Tuesday, London's Chelsea Football Club confirmed on their official website that they have extended the contract with left-back Ashley Cole for another year.

Rumors have been circulating in the press for some time that Roman Abramovich would allegedly part ways with this English service already this summer, but the "Blues" club has made the final decision.

"I am very pleased that I will be able to represent the Chelsea team for the eighth season. I really like it here, I have many great memories," said A. Cole, who extended his contract.

The 32-year-old former Arsenal player has been playing for the UEFA Champions League-winning team since 2006. During this period, he has played 293 matches and scored 7 times.
