Football: Malouda pleads for new Chelsea deal

Malouda keen to add another year to his Chelsea contract which expires in 2013.

LONDON: Chelsea midfielder Florent Malouda has urged the club to offer him an extension to his contract amid speculation the French international could be sold in the summer.

Malouda’s current deal at Stamford Bridge runs until 2013 but he is keen to add another year to the contract, saying he wants to emulate the longevity of Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs. “I want to be the Giggs of Chelsea, I want to extend my contract by one year until 2014,” he said. “I am waiting for a signal from the club.”
