Florent Malouda: I want to stay with Chelsea

Florent Malouda has claimed that he wants to stay with Chelsea next season.

The French winger has repeatedly been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge during the past two years.

When asked if he hopes to continue his career with the Champions League winners, the 31-year-old told FIFA.com: "Yes, and Chelsea know it.

"During the last two transfer windows, the club have said that I was not available for transfer. I knew at the beginning of the season I would not play all that often.

"This season has reminded of my first season at Chelsea. You have to accept it. I finished the previous campaign as Chelsea's leading scorer in the league and I started the next season on the bench."

Malouda has been named in the France squad for Euro 2012.
