Lampard praises Arsenal signing

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard is happy with the signing of Ashley Cole.

Lampard has played with Cole for England so he knows what he's all about and considers him to probably be the best left-back in the world.

There's a lot of pressure playing for a big club like Chelsea but Cole has experienced it with Arsenal and England so Lampard doesn't think the defender will have any problems.

"Ashley is tough enough to deal with whatever is thrown at him," said Lampard in The Sun.

"People have already been giving him stick but he's stayed very strong mentally.

"He's coped with the demands of playing at the top level for Arsenal and England so he'll have no problems coming to Chelsea.

"Ashley is probably the best left back in the world."
