Petr Cech expects talks regarding a new Chelsea deal to go without a hitch.
The 29-year old Czech Republic goalkeeper is on the verge of opening talks with the Blues regarding a new contract and he is confident of having it resolved very soon so he can continue his career with the club he joined from Rennes in 2004.
"There are a lot of matches at this time of year so we agreed [before Christmas] that both sides would prepare for the negotiations and meet to resolve it when there is time for that.
"The last few weeks have been hectic and we [agreed] to meet after New Year's Day.
"I have been here for seven years and I have been more or less a regular starter, so I'm more than happy to stay.
"Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be at a club who are among the best in the world.
"Chelsea are in the world's top competition, so I have no reason to leave. I would like to see myself staying here.""Yes, I think [I will sign a new deal] and we will not have a problem," he told the London Evening Standard.
