Chelsea line up Ashley Cole replacement

Wasn't Ryan Bertrand suspposed to fill this role?

Well, the Mirror are today reporting that Wolfsburg's young Swiss left-back Ricardo Rodriguez has caught the eye of the Chelsea hierarchy, who are looking for Ashley Cole's long-term successor when the T**T!! looks to depart Stamford Bridge this summer.

Rodriguez has a rising reputation in European football and is part of an exciting young Switzerland side at the moment under Ottmar Hitzfeld.

Yes, you read that right. Switzerland and exciting in the same sentence. Just doesn't sound right does it?
