Kovacic unsure of Chelsea future

The Croatian Mateo Kovacic moved to Stamford Bridge on loan in the summer following a successful but frustrating couple of seasons at Real Madrid, in which he has often had to settle for being a substitute.

A permanent move to England looks a realistic possibility, although it is unclear whether there is a clause in his deal that specifies a fee if a transfer takes place.

The 24-year-old says he has settled in nicely at his new club but insists it is too early to make a decision on whether he will look to make the switch permanent.

“It’s too early for these questions, I am here and very happy,’ he said, as reported by the Evening Standard.

“[Playing regularly] is good, I’m a little bit tired. I was not used to playing every three or four games and here it is very tough football.

“You can’t relax against anybody so it’s a little bit difficult but I really enjoy it. We have a great team, great fans and the city is nice. I like it a lot here.

“I go around and I enjoy the city — it’s huge and I haven’t seen enough of it yet. I’m looking forward to getting to know it more. I’m enjoying it. What’s the most interesting thing I’ve seen so far? The stadium.

“I don’t do anything special. I spend a lot of time in Cobham because I need to prepare myself for training and every game but after that I go home and enjoy time with my wife.

“Nothing special, we go for dinner, we live in the city so we are walking a lot. My family enjoys the city and that’s the most important thing for me in the end.”
