Villarreal star Juan Pablo Sorin expects to see Arsenal fullback Ashley Cole playing in Real Madrid colours next season.
Sorin, 30, said: "I rate Ashley Cole as one of the best left-backs in the world. He's very quick but also very intelligent tactically.
"Rumour has it that Cole will be coming to Spain next season. If he does he will be a difficult rival for any player in La Liga to come up against.
"But as good as Cole is, for me the best left-back in the world is still Roberto Carlos. He continues to be the greatest."
