Pepe Reina hailed Ashley Cole

Liverpool star Pepe Reina believes that Chelsea full back Ashley Cole is one of the world’s best left backs.

The Blues star has been in fine form for the west Londoners for a number of years and is regarded by many as the best in the world and he now has the support of the Reds’ star stopper.

“There are a lot of good left-backs now, but for me, Ashley Cole is the best left-back in England,” he told the club’s official site.

“I like him a lot. I also like Marcelo at Real Madrid and Adriano from Barcelona.”
