Bolton striker Sturridge: Chelsea want me to stay

Danny Sturridge is confident he has a future at Chelsea.

Sturridge is at pains to point out that he regards the Bolton Wanderers adventure just as an experience-gathering opportunity.

And when it is over in the summer he will eagerly head back to Chelsea, ­seeing himself very much part of Carlo Ancelotti's plans of at Stamford Bridge.

And Sturridge told the Daily Star Sunday: "I'm not worried about Fernando Torres coming in at Chelsea.

"I believe in myself. I'm not worrying about any players the club signs, because it's a world-class club with world-class players."

He fully expects to be heading back to Chelsea in the summer.

"I don't think Chelsea would let me leave, even if I was interested in going," he said.

"They made it quite clear they weren't going to entertain a transfer and in the beginning I wasn't allowed to go on loan.

"I'm a Chelsea player and I love Chelsea.

"I've come to Bolton to gain first-team experience. I'm sure the manager here, Owen Coyle, will help me achieve that.

"It will be a great period for me but then I'll go back to Chelsea and try to further my career there."
