Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford has hit out at reports claiming he has no future at Stamford Bridge.
Bamford is currently on loan with Middlesbourgh where he has scored 13 times since joining the club in August.
I have discussed my career path with Jose on many occasions and am very happy with it.
The 21-year-old helped Boro climb top of the Championship with a goal in Tuesday’s 3-0 win over Millwall and was quoted afterwards saying he did not feature in manager Jose Mourinho’s plans at Chelsea.
However, Bamford, who scored and set-up another goal to knock Manchester City out of the FA Cup in January, has issued a statement insisting his quotes have been taken out of context from an old interview.
“I have discussed my career path with Jose on many occasions and am very happy with it,” said Bamford.
“Everyone’s aim is for me to continue to develop as a player under Jose’s supervision and to have a long and successful career at Chelsea”.
