Wenger backs Cole to stay focused after ‘gay’ story

ARSENE WENGER does not believe Ashley Cole will lose any focus after the England defender launched legal action against two newspapers following gay sex allegations.

In a story published on February 12, the News of the World claimed two Premiership footballers used a mobile phone as a sex toy.

The story did not name the players, but the Internet has been awash with rumours about their identities. The paper published a follow-up story on February 19, and similar allegations appeared in The Sun.
