Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma has declared his desire to remain at Stamford Bridge next season.

The Frenchman made just 14 appearances for the Blues last season, and with the 2018 World Cup coming up, speculation has linked Zouma with a move away from London.

"No. I'm very happy at Chelsea. I hear the rumours, it's flattering. It means I'm a player people are looking at, but I'm not going to stop there," said Zouma.

"My objective is to stay at Chelsea. Next season, we'll start from scratch, there will be a lot of games. The cards will be on the table. It's up to me to work hard."

Marseille and Lyon have shown interest in taking the 22-year old on loan.
