Agent says Chelsea striker Borini wants Premier League stay

The agent of Fabio Borini expects the striker to see out the season with Chelsea.

His agent, Marco De Marchi, is confident he will earn a new deal in England, either from Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti or one of their Premier League rivals.

"At this time Fabio's just thinking about his rehabilitation from injury," he told calciomercato.com.

"The boy is disappointed by the behaviour of Chelsea, which put him out of the squad despite the excellent things he did last season.

"Parma are interested in Borini but it's not only them. That's normal for a player of the Under-21 national team, who has experience at international level and is out of contract in 2011.

"Ancelotti has great respect for him, and this affects a lot. He would return with pleasure to Italy but it is not necessary yet.

"The boy grew up in England and he loves English football. We will evaluate the offers that will come but I wouldn't be surprised if he stays in the Premier League."
