Ashley Cole has signed for Italian giants Roma following his release from Chelsea at the end of last season.
The 33-year-old signed a two-year contract on Monday after becoming a free agent this summer.
Upon his arrival in the city, Cole was mobbed by Italian fans at the airport as the club's official Twitter account posted a picture of Cole at Rome airport and wrote, 'Welcome to Rome, Ashley!'
HISTORY MAKER
By signing for Roma, Ashley Cole will become only the second British player to play for the Serie A club.
Welsh legend John Charles played for Roma between 1962 and 1963, scoring four goals in just 10 appearances before ending his career with Cardiff City.
QPR winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has also taken to Twitter to send his wishes onto Cole.
Wright-Phillips wrote: 'All the best my bro @TheRealAC3 good luck in Rome'.
Rome-based newspaper Il Romanista ran the headline 'Yes we Cole' on their Sunday edition and reported that a two-year deal for the experienced left-back was already sewn up.
The former England defender was a free agent after leaving Chelsea and had interest from Monaco and various Major League Soccer franchises before choosing to switch to Italy.
