Fellaini admits he's interested in Chelsea

Marouane Fellaini has admitted that, surprisingly enough, he is very much interested in joining Chelsea.

It seems as though his primary motivation won’t be the pay rise he would inevitably gain from such a move, or even the promise of no longer having play alongside Darren Gibson. No, big hair has his eyes on ‘Ol big ears and wants to play in the Champions League.

“Am I interested in Chelsea? It’s normal, right? I’ve never played in the Champions League!” He told the Daily Mirror.

Fellaini has understandably been attracting rather a lot of interest from a number of top sides after his new more attacking role saw markedly improved performances from the big Belgian. Arsenal are thought to be interested, but with Champions League football no longer a guarantee at the Emirates transfer to north London seems rather unlikely. Manchester United have also been keeping tabs on Fellaini but seeing as a move would require Fergie to actually sign a central midfielder, we can probably rule that one out.

So Chelsea it is then? Stamford Bridge certainly looks like the most likely destination right now; the 23-year-old does however remind us that he won’t come cheap.

“I’m happy here, I know everyone, I get along with my team-mates. It’s my home. On the other hand, I also want to take the next step. Fate will decide.

“Everton paid £20million and do not want to sell me for nothing.

“If a big club wants me, they will have to pay the price.”
