- Ashley Cole now plays for LA Galaxy and is selling mansion back in UK
- Veteran left-back lived with former wife Cheryl Tweedy in luxurious complex
- House has swimming pool and football pitch but was sold at cut price
Ashley Cole has sold the luxurious mansion he once shared with former wife Cheryl Tweedy for less than the £7.5m asking price.
Now living in Los Angeles and playing for LA Galaxy, Cole cashed in on his home in the Surrey Hills.
The property boasts a swimming pool, football pitch and even a cinema room which Cole shared with Tweedy (now Fernandez-Versini) during their four year marriage between 2006-2010.

Pictures of the plush pad show the house in all it’s glory, with a modern interior and vast grounds outside which includes a heli-pad and two-hole golf course.
Cole accepted he needed to take a cut-price offer for his old home as there were no buyers willing to meet the asking price.
The former England and Chelsea fullback is still going strong in the MLS at 36-years-old.
He lives in Los Angeles with girlfriend Sharon Canu and their young son who was born earlier this year. Fernandez-Versini married Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini in 2014 but they divorced in 2016.

Tweedy has since remarried and divorced and is now known as Cheryl Fernadez-Versini
Cole now lives in Los Angeles and plays for LA Galaxy where he has displayed solid form
A source told the The Sun newspaper: ‘Ashley’s life is in America now with his child and partner so he knows he needs to let go. This was the final goodbye.’
It seems Cole is content with life in California both on and off the pitch, displaying the consistency of performance which has characterised his career.
He has won over Galaxy fans originally offended when he shunned LA for Roma, claiming he was not ready to ‘relax on a beach’.
And the London-born defender enjoys his anonymity in the US and in June told Sports Illustrated: ‘No-one knows who I am here, I can walk down the street with my son. For sure, if I lived in England, 100 per cent, someone would be taking a picture.’
Cole is understood to currently be in contract talks to extend his stay with LA Galaxy.
