Joe Cole has revealed that he wants to get his future sorted out shortly after departing Chelsea.
The midfielder is available on a free transfer after leaving Stamford Bridge at the end of last season and has been linked with Spurs and Arsenal.
Cole said: “I want to get my future sorted as quickly as possible.
“My season for Chelsea wasn’t great for what I believe were political reasons rather than footballing reasons.
“Carlo Ancelotti, I love him, I’ve got big respect for him. I don’t want to go on into it now. It isn’t the time.
“It is not financial and it is nothing to do with Carlo. I love Carlo. I think he is a top guy and a top manager.
“I loved my time at Chelsea, I love the fans but it is a story for another day and I will tell it but now is not the time.”

“Next season I want to have a fantastic season for England and whatever club I am out.
“The next contract I sign will be a footballing decision. I want to play in a more central position.
“I want a manager who has faith in me and I’m talking about club football here.
“It is a big decision for me and my family but I’m open to anything at the moment.
“I have purposely not spoken to anyone while I’ve been here because that wouldn’t be fair on England.
“My phone has been turned off but now I want to sort it all out.”
