Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has rubbished continuing rumours linking him with a move away from the Premier League powerhouses next summer.

The 30-year-old Ivory Coast international is a reported target for Internazionale, who are managed by former Blues boss Jose Mourinho.

However, Drogba says he would be happy to talk about a new contract at Stamford Bridge, with his current deal running out at the end of next season.

He told The Sun: "I am happy with everyone here and want to be a Chelsea player.

"I want people to stop talking about me going back to Marseille or going to Inter Milan. When Jose Mourinho left I was unhappy, but that is past now and I am allowed to change my mind.

"I want to stay until the end of my contract. I love the fans, my family love it here and we want to stay.

"I would stay (longer) if they offered me a new deal. There have been no talks about extending my deal, but there is time for that.

"I know that first I need to show I am still the Didier Drogba this club knows.

"With Chelsea, I'm with one of the best teams in the world. The only trophy we are missing is the Champions League and I want to win it with Chelsea and bring it back to the Bridge."
