Roma defender Ashley Cole has accepted an offer to join LA Galaxy, Sky in Italy understands.

The former Chelsea left-back has said goodbye to his team-mates at the Serie A side, having cancelled his contract with them.

Cole's days at the club appeared numbered after he was left out of Roma's 25-man Champions League squad and he now looks set for a swansong in the MLS.
