Malouda intent on Chelsea stay

Florent Malouda has made it clear that he does not want to leave Chelsea ahead of tonight's transfer deadline.

The French winger has been heavily linked with a Stamford Bridge departure in recent weeks with Juventus and Arsenal reportedly in line but the player has no plans to leave Southwest London.

"I've always been clear in my choices. It's going to be very difficult to take me out of my club," he said.

"I've still got two years left on my Chelsea contract. My objective is to extend by one year until the 2014 World Cup.

"That hasn't changed and it won't change tonight."
