Ched Evans And The Most Controversial Transfers In Football History – Arsenal And Manchester United Deals Included

Ashley Cole – Arsenal to Chelsea – 2006

Cole was famously given the nickname ‘Cashley’ after complaining that Arsenal’s offer of £55,000 per week was not enough.

The Blues offered the left-back £90,000 per week and moved to Stamford Bridge in 2006. The move was, however, subject to a tapping up scandal – as a year before Cole and his agent Jonathan Barnett were discovered meeting up with Jose Mourinho and chief executive Peter Kenyon in a London hotel.
