Real Madrid revive push for Arsenal's Cole

Real Madrid are reviving their interest in Arsenal left-back Ashley Cole.

The Spanish giants are seeking a long-term successor to Brazilian superstar Roberto Carlos and have identified Cole as the man to fill his boots.

The Mirror says Florentino Perez, president of the Spanish giants, has made Arsenal's England left-back one of their top summer transfer targets.

Real have been tracking Cole since he fell out with Arsenal over the "tapping-up" scandal with Chelsea and they see him as a potential successor to Roberto Carlos.
