Carlo Ancelotti is sure Joe Cole will stay at Chelsea Football Club.

The midfielder is out of contract in the summer and is being chased by a host of clubs, including Liverpool, the two Manchester sides and Tottenham Hotspur.

However, Ancelotti has made no secret of his desire to keep Cole at Stamford Bridge, and he is sure the 28-year-old will soon agree terms to remain with the Blues.

“He will stay at Chelsea next year. I'm 100 per cent clear,” said the Italian. "I don't like to speak about him all the time. He will be in the squad for next year, as I say."
