Michael Chopra: 'I don't have to leave'

Michael Chopra has insisted that he will not be forced out of Ipswich Town this summer.

A report this morning claimed that the Tractor Boys had made the former Newcastle United and Sunderland striker available for transfer.

However, despite having confirmed the rumours, the 29-year-old has hinted that he could remain at Portman Road for another season.

"Just coz I'm on the transfer list does not mean I hav 2 leave I hav 1 year left on my contract its down 2 the player if he wants 2 go or not," he wrote on the social networking site Twitter.

"Just because they accept a bid does not mean I will leave might not be the right club for me to go to."

Chopra joined Ipswich from Cardiff City back in 2011.
