Higuain’s message for Cole

Argentina World Cup star Gonzalo Higuain believes Ashley Cole will be a big star in La Liga. The England defender is set for a move to Real Madrid after growing disillusioned with life in England following the break-up of his marriage to pop star Cheryl Tweedy. His public image took a further knock following England’s World Cup disaster when he said he despised the British. Now Real striker Higuain has urged the 29-year-old to grab the Madrid lifeline. "At Madrid, Cole's football will make all the headlines, not his private life. I think that will be a big incentive for him,” said Higuain on Friday. "I have spoken with a couple of senior players who the club confide in and they are very confident that we will sign him in the next few weeks.”
