Ashley ColeFirst it was Robin van Persie, but it now appears that Ashley Cole could make a shock return to Arsenal at the end of the season, according to the Daily Mail.

We all know the story of Cole and his controversial switch to London rivals Chelsea seven years ago. The move left Arsenal fans upset and angry, and after the 33-year-old made the move the Emirates faithful labelled him ‘Cashley’ as he left the club in search for more money rather than silverware.

But having been dropped to the bench since Jose Mourinho’s return to the club and reports suggesting they will not be renewing Cole’s contract, Arsenal have surprisingly been linked with a move for the experienced left-back, which will no doubt rile up and get the fans talking.

Apparently, Arsene Wenger remains a keen admirer of Cole and despite being well stocked in the left-back position, with Kieran Gibbs and Nacho Monreal already fighting for the starting berth, the Frenchman is believed to want to add more experience which the former Gunner would provide.

However, if this move transpires then Wenger could have a whole lot of Gooners on his case.

Personally, its hard to imagine this move occurring and like Van Persie, I don’t want to see Cole back at Arsenal. Firstly, he isn’t the player he used to be and secondly, we already have two established left-backs at the club already – I’ll put money on it that no real Arsenal fan wants Cole back following his notorious exit from the Emirates.

Would you like to see Cashley back at Arsenal?

Please let me know what you think on the matter below

    We don’t want man without principle like you to be back. When you were young and strong, you forced your way out for big money. When you are old and slow now, please do not say you’re coming back, this is no old folks home for you.

    No I dont think we should.
    He might have a few years left in him, but I’d much rather see that we invest in a younger player. Also it doesn’t show much intent to other rivals etc, buying a slightly out of date left back from a rival club.. If Chelsea wants to let him go then I don’t see why we should cash in on him.

    And tbh I think we are good at left back; Monreal and Gibbs are doing great and have many more years infront of them. I fear a little for Gibbs with his injury record tho, lets hope his luck with injuries has turned and he can play regularly in the years to come.
