Florent Malouda has shrugged off speculation he could leave Chelsea this summer by insisting he is loving life with the Blues.[LNB] The winger is on a high after helping Chelsea win the FA Cup against Everton last month - his first trophy since his big-money switch from Lyon in 2007.[LNB]But Malouda, who became a first-team regular under Guus Hiddink, is not resting on his laurels and now wants to help the Blues win more trophies next term.[LNB]Asked about speculation linking him with a move away, he told France Football: "Every time, I say the same thing - I don't know why people are not getting the message! [LNB]No coincidence"If I choose to live in London, it is no coincidence. [LNB]"It's true that I don't dwell on my private life too much but, hey, London is the ideal place for my family - my children like it. [LNB]"I have great relationships at Chelsea and, in sporting terms, things are getting better and better. [LNB]"I am part of a team where I am flourishing." [LNB]Great yearMalouda added: "It was a great year with the trophy for Chelsea and above all the fact that I have always dreamed of winning this great tournament and finally realised my dream.[LNB]"On the football side, everybody talks about the end of the season, but the start wasn't bad, apart from my injury.[LNB]"I'm pleased that people have noticed the end of the championship, but for me it is more the whole season - and I hope that next year will be even better in terms of trophies.[LNB]"We have seen that Chelsea are not far away from the best in the world."[LNB]
