Ashley Cole hopes to win back Cheryl

In a bid to woo ex-wife Cheryl back, Ashley Cole is reportedly pumping in millions into Dubai property.

The Chelsea footballer became single when 'Girls Aloud' star Cheryl divorced him last year after a string of affairs.

However, he has boasted to teammates that they will remarry, and that he hopes to win Cheryl back with a luxury home in the Arabian playground, reports The Sun.

"Cheryl loves Dubai and I'm investing heavily there because of it. We love each other and we will be together again," he told a friend.

"He truly believes the divorce is temporary. When he retires he sees them moving away. He says the only reason they split was because she had to be seen to act after his affairs," the friend added.
