Florent Malouda has declared he wants to play out his career at Chelsea.

The French winger is loving life in West London and is already thinking he would like to stay on at the Bridge beyond his newly-signed contract which runs to 2013.

He said: "I think I will be capable of playing beyond 2013. I am flourishing at Chelsea. What I experience here gives me hunger to continue.

"As long as I have that hunger I will carry on. I still have beautiful years ahead of me. Chelsea is in any case the ideal place to have a beautiful career."
