Kurt Zouma has insisted that he wants to stay at Chelsea beyond the summer transfer window.
The French defender has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer because of his lack of playing time with Chelsea last season.
Indeed, Zouma only started three games in the Premier League for Chelsea last season as he found his first-team opportunities to be significantly restricted.
His lack of playing time last term has inevitably prompted suggestions that he could leave Stamford Bridge in search of regular first team football.
However, the player himself has now moved to pour cold water on those reports and insists that he is happy to stay at Chelsea and fight for his first-team place under Antonio Conte.
Speaking to France Football about his future, Zouma said: “I’m very happy at Chelsea.
“I hear the rumours, it’s flattering. It means I’m a player people are looking at, but I’m not going to stop there.
“My objective is to stay at Chelsea. Next season, we’ll start from scratch, there will be a lot of games.”
Chelsea are believed to be on the lookout for a number of new signings this summer but the Blues are yet to confirm the arrival of any new players.
The Blues could be in the market for a new defender after John Terry called time on his Chelsea career at the end of last season.
