Chelsea defender Paulo Ferreira insists he has
held no talks about a possible move away from Stamford
Bridge.
The Portuguese right back, who has figured infrequently
this term because of injury and the form of Jose Bosingwa, has been
linked with a move to Premier League rivals West Ham and Aston
Villa.
Ferreira has started just once in the league all term, and
that at Aston Villa in the unfamiliar position of left
back.
“I have a contract with Chelsea. I have seen some rumours in the
newspapers but I don’t know anything nor has anyone spoken to me,"
said the 30-year-old, who is contracted to the Stamford Bridge side
until June 2013.
A cruciate ligament injury sustained during training in March
curtailed Ferreira’s season, but the former Porto defender is
confident he will be fit for the start of the new season in
August.
“The season was strange because of injuries, but after the
operation I will be perfect for the new campaign,” added
Ferreira.
