He told L’Equipe: “I still have at least a year of contract with Chelsea. If it’s at Chelsea, I’ll be happy.

“If this is not the case, another challenge will be presented to me. I can still play in a good Championship for two years, I don’t set myself any limits.

“I remember a discussion I had with Arsène Wenger. He told me that he saw me playing well until the age of 35 because, as I get older, my game would not be penalised since it is not based on speed.”
