RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose has declared he wants to keep Josko Gvardiol.

The defender scored in last night's 1-1 draw with Champions League opponents Manchester City. Gvardiol's goal came just a day after he talked up a future move to Chelsea.

But Rose says he'll fight to keep the Croatian.

"Josko Gvardiol will also be an RB Leipzig player next season. I'm the coach and I ask for it," he stated.

"He is happy here. He says he wants to play in the Premier League, but not when."
