Porto defender Malang Sarr is confident of a future with parent club Chelsea.

Sarr joined Chelsea as a free agent from Nice before being loaned to Porto this season.

He told L'Equipe: "I trained with Chelsea before being loaned. The loan was part of the plan.

"You had to be honest with myself: my season in Nice ended in March, I wasn't going to win a place right away at Chelsea.

"It was the perfect solution because I wanted to do a season at a top-class club like Porto, to be good and take a place at Chelsea later."
