Joe Cole has received three death threats this week that have left him "in terror" according to The Sun.
Two messages reportedly warned the Chelsea midfielder he was going to have his throat cut while another featured a drawing of a footballer in a blue kit with a line across his throat.
The letters arrived at Chelsea's training ground in Surrey this week over a period of two days.
The first apparently said, "You are going to have your legs broken, you're going to have your arms broken and you're going to have your throat cut."
He then received a card with a 'Congratulations on your retirement' message, complete with the words 'And your f****** funeral'.
An 'insider' told The Sun: "With it was a picture of a footballer in a blue strip. Across the player's throat was a line to indicate where he would be slashed."
The Sun has rather curiously suggested that the messages may be from fans of Page Three girl Keeley Hazell, incensed at the pair's friendship.
Cole was attacked by Keeley's boyfriend earlier this month for "disrespecting" the model.
It's from the Sun it must be True
