Ashley Cole eyeing 5m pounds bachelor pad in LA

London, Jan 21 (ANI): Ashley Cole is splashing out 5million pounds for a luxury bachelor pad in Beverly Hills, where he can bring girls without any hassle.

The 31-year-old has sent his friends to Los Angeles on a five-day house-hunting mission for a five star mansion, the Daily Star reported.

It is apparently the Chelsea ace's favourite destination.

Cole will be following in the footsteps of ex-wife Cheryl, 28, who was spotted last October eyeing up a 3.4million-pound house.

Friends claim that the footballer wants to find somewhere he can settle down after his contract runs out with Chelsea.

And they say he is thinking about following David Beckham and starting a new life over the pond.

"Ashley loves the LA lifestyle and wants to find the perfect lads' bachelor pad - somewhere he can bring girls back without any hassle," a source said. (ANI)
