[BBC] Ashley Cole claims he joined Chelsea because he was angry that Arsenal made no serious attempt to keep him. The England defender wanted £60,000 a week but says the Gunners board were only prepared to offer him £55,000.
.... Cole, who is thought to have agreed a five-year deal with the Premiership champions, claims in his book that Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein had initially agreed to the wage demand with his agent, Jonathan Barnett.
The 25-year-old left-back was told of the board's refusal to sanction the deal while he was driving his car and says he "nearly swerved off the road".
