Chelsea's Filipe Luis not eyeing Atletico Madrid move

Chelsea defender Filipe Luis is not actively seeking a return to Atletico Madrid.

The Brazil international is heavily linked with a summer move back to former club Atleti but he insists he is only looking ahead with the Blues where he remains as second choice left-back behind Cesar Azpilicueta.

?"I'm just focused on Chelsea, on working hard and giving my best in order to end the season with another important and beautiful trophy," Luis said.

"Of course, everything can change in football, but I'm happy and have a three-year contract at Chelsea that I'd like to see out.

"I've had some of the best years of my career at Atletico and remember the supporters, my teammates and the coaching staff fondly.

"I'm really fond of 'El Cholo' (Diego Simeone), he's a coach that taught me so much."
