Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon remains confident that Dutch winger Arjen Robben will still be at Stamford Bridge next season.

The 23-year-old's future has been the subject of much speculation this summer and he has been linked with a transfer to Real Madrid, but Kenyon expects him to remain with the Blues.

"Arjen is very happy, he's just got married and he wants to demonstrate and prove what a great player he is and still believes the Premier League is the best opportunity," Kenyon said.

"I'm confident he'll be there next season."

Of Chelsea's lack of activity in the transfer market this summer, Kenyon added: "By Chelsea standards it's been very quiet.

"That's probably the headline, both in terms of names and in terms of big spending. We've had three or four so-called free transfers.

"We're now very confident that we'll break even by 2009-10."
