Florent Malouda to earn Chelsea place

Chelsea midfielder Florent Malouda has vowed to stay at the club and fight for a place in Andre Villas-Boas's team.

Malouda has regularly seen himself left on the bench by Villas-Boas and the former Lyon winger had been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.

The 31-year-old said: "Am I ready to fight for my place? Of course. That's my character and the manager knows that.

"I have helped the team win trophies and that is what I'm looking for. I will never be happy to play a few minutes sometimes."

Paris Saint-Germain are reported to be interested in reuniting Malouda with former Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti, after the Italian was appointed the new manager of the French giants.
