Chelsea captain John Terry has urged the club to extend midfielder Joe Cole’s contract beyond the end of this season.
The 28-year-old is out of contract in the summer and looks set to leave the club on a free transfer, with Manchester United and Manchester City rumoured to be interested in the England international.
Cole refused to comment on his future after Saturday’s 1-0 FA Cup final win over Portsmouth, but Terry insists everybody at Stamford Bridge wants him to stay.
"Nobody wants Joe Cole to leave, we all want him to stay and we're confident he will do," Terry told Sky Sports.
Chelsea’s FA Cup final win secured the club’s first ever double, having already won the Premier League, and Terry is delighted to have made history this season.
He added: "[The Champions League] is the one that's eluded us in the last few years so that's the big target.
"We know that Roman [Abramovich] wants that, we know the players want that. This is just a taste of that, if we won that it would put us right up there with the greats.
"But we said yesterday in the dressing room, we'll take the double over the Champions League all day long.
"It's never been done in the club's history and we're so proud that this group of players, for generations and generations, is never going to be forgotten."
