Ba: Mourinho wants me to Stay

Chelsea forward Demba Ba has claimed that
manager Jose Mourinho has asked him to stay at
Stamford Bridge next season .
Ba ’ s future with Chelsea has been the subject of
conjecture after the Senegal international started
only six games in all competitions last season .
He was a target for Arsenal last summer, but
important goals against Paris St Germain , Swansea
and Liverpool in the latter stages of the season
appear to have secured Ba ’ s future at the west
London outfit .
“Jose Mourinho has asked me to stay at Chelsea
next season , ” Ba told the Daily Star . “He assured
me that my situation wouldn’ t change.
“I see this as my reward from God . I weighed up the
pros and cons , and think that I will stay put to see
what happens.
“I don ’ t know whether my situation will improve , but
what with the coach ’ s offer anything can happen.
“I want to play a lot of matches and I think that will
be the case for me.
“I was approached by Arsenal last August . But
Mourinho refused to let me join them , as he said he
didn’ t want to help a rival team to get stronger .”
