Ashley Cole has finally made friends! (Picture: Twitter)

It may have taken more than a week and spawned thousands of memes but Ashley Cole is finally making friends at Roma.

The ex-Chelsea and England defender was the figure of ridicule after he appeared in an awkward pose during a team photo with his new team mates.

But it appears that Cole is now finding some common ground and in the form of another former Arsenal player after he was photographed being all smiles with Gervinho, a one-time Gunner.

Maybe Italy won’t be such a lonely place for Ashley after all!
