Ashley Cole 'in talks with three overseas clubs'

Ashley Cole is reportedly holding talks with a handful of overseas clubs after leaving Chelsea following an eight-year spell at Stamford Bridge.

The West London outfit confirmed the 33-year-old's departure this week after deciding against offering the left-back a new contract.

Despite previous reports that Liverpool were considering a swoop for the free agent, Cole is in talks with three clubs based in Europe, according to Sky Sports News.

Monaco, Barcelona and AC Milan have all been touted as possible destinations for the former England international.
