Marseille defender Doria admits Chelsea ambition

Marseille defender Doria admits he has ambitions of playing for Chelsea.

Doria signed for the Ligue 1 side back in 2014, but has been loaned out to both Sao Paulo and Granada since arriving to help his development.

Doria's contract runs until 2019 with Marseille, but the rumoured interest from Antonio Conte's side has excited him.

“Yes, I heard about it through social media," Doria said on Chelsea in an interview with Canal Football Club.

“But I think that I need to continue to do my work. We have played 8 games, I need to continue.

“I don't know [if it is true]. I found out about it like you did. But that should not stop one from dreaming, they are one of biggest clubs in Europe.

“I am happy about these rumours, but what is most important is to continue playing well."
