Geremi wants Blues deal

Geremi is hoping to be offered a new contract by Chelsea after breaking into the team.

Geremi is hoping to be offered a new contract by Chelsea after forcing his way into the team this season.

Under Jose Mourinho's tenure at Stamford Bridge, Geremi has largely played a bit-part role with the Premiership champions.

But in recent weeks he has established himself as Mourinho's preferred choice at right-back and is enjoying playing regularly.

Though he has a further season remaining on his contract, the Cameroonian admits he is eager to extend his stay in West London.

"I am delighted to be playing more this season," said Geremi.

"As a player you want to be involved all the time. My job is to be there and try to make the manager's life difficult by playing well and helping the team.

"I always expect to play, that's what I am here for.

"I still have one year left on my contract and I hope I will fully commit to Chelsea.

"They have not yet spoken to me about another one, but of course I want to stay, I am happy here."

And Geremi is also not concerned about whether Mourinho adds to his star-studded squad in January's transfer window.

He added: "If Chelsea buy more players, it would be great for the team because we are involved in a lot of competitions."
