Cole: Can he smell the money?

Robert Pires believes the prospect of earning big-money with Paris St-Germain may just entice former team-mate Ashley Cole to France.

Cole, who has yet to agree to a new deal at Chelsea, has been repeatedly linked with a switch to the Parisians.

A move to the French capital for the England full-back would also see him reunite with ex-Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Having played alongside Cole for several seasons at Arsenal, Pires believes the 31-year-old is at a stage in his career where he wouldn't mind a fresh challenge - or getting paid handsomely at the same time.

"Paris may be of interest for him to all levels - sportingly, financially... It's Paris, it's France... I think he might say yes," Pires told Le 10 Sport.

"The project of PSG attracts him. I know him well, I'm sure that he is interested.

"PSG will become one of the biggest clubs in Europe in the coming years, they are trying to get something strong, and he knows it can encourage him to come.

"There will be a great team and financially it can make a big deal.

"He played in two huge, biggest clubs in England, he won everything," the Frenchman added.

"He sees that the PSG is interested in him, he knows that what he [can] get financially at Chelsea, he could have it in Paris. This will attract him, it is obvious."
