Olympique Marseille star Taye Taiwo has declared he wants to play for Chelsea.

Marseille are at Chelsea this week in the Champions League.

"I'm so excited," he smiled to Ligue1.com.

"I've been waiting so long for this opportunity to play at Stamford Bridge, so long for this opportunity to play against Chelsea and show them what I can do, and maybe at the end of the season if Ashley Cole is leaving, then they'll be thinking of who can replace him and hopefully they'll think of me."
