If the Blues beat Arsenal on Sunday, the Gunners will be 13 points behind the Premier League leaders and out of the title race.
Cole told News of the World: “People are always going on about the nice football Arsenal play but if you look at the last few years, who’s won the trophies? Know what I mean?
“I wouldn’t want to be playing for a team that didn’t win trophies.”
Cole added: “You are not going to be sitting on the beach at the end of the season speaking about that Cruyff turn you did back in December, or that nutmeg you did in January, are you?
“You want to be thinking about what medals you won. That’s what it’s all about. That’s why you play.
“Our only aim is to put some silverware on the table. I’d like to be sitting on a beach next summer with a medal or two.”
