Chelsea forward Florent Malouda has reiterated his desire to remain at Stamford Bridge this summer, despite the rumours linking him with a switch to Serie A, Goal.com reported.

Malouda was another player, like striker Didier Drogba, who flourished under the management of Guus Hiddink towards the end of last season, after never really fulfilling his obvious potential whilst Luiz Felipe Scolari was at the Stamford Bridge helm.

And the French international would like to continue his devleopment and progress with Ancelotti as manager at the club, adding more silverware to the FA Cup that the team won by beating Everton at Wembley last month.

"I have a great relationship at Chelsea and, in sporting terms, I am part of a team where I am flourishing," the player reportedly told British tabloid The Daily Star.

"I have always dreamed of winning the Cup. Chelsea are not far away from the best in the world," he added.

Ancelotti's intentions towards Malouda are, as yet, unknown. But the Italian is sure to want to bring in some of his own players this summer.
