Agent: 'Marco van Ginkel keen on return to Chelsea'

Marco van Ginkel has indicated that he is keen to return to the Chelsea first-team squad next season, according to his agent.

The Dutch midfielder has been on loan at AC Milan since September, and despite suggesting that extending his stay at San Siro is a possibility, Karel Jansen claims that his client is still hoping to prove his worth to Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

"Staying at Milan? Anything is possible, there is no reason to rule it out," Jansen told Voetbalprimeur.nl. "It is early and we need to see what would happen in case there's a change of management at the club.

"Additionally we have to deal with Chelsea and see what Marco wants to do. Chelsea is still his goal. We hope to conclude everything before the end of the transfer window."

Van Ginkel has been restricted to just 10 appearances in all competitions this season.
