The French striker was thought to be leaving the club this summer, after being predominantly used from the subs bench last season. However Chelsea have now opted to trigger the one-year extension clause in his contract to keep him at Stamford Bridge, according to French publication Telefoot. FIFA hit the club with the ban after they were found guilty of breaking rules surrounding the transfer of minors. “If not the club will be blocked and maybe then they will need me more and to offer me something. “I am staying objective, and if I can stay at Chelsea I will be happy – but I need to play more.”
