AVB: Forget Mata – Look At What Malouda Has Done For Chelsea

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has refuted claims that Florent Malouda is on the verge of leaving the club.

Rumours had suggested Juventus were set to make a formal £5m offer for the French winger, however the Blues manager claims Malouda will not be departing from Stamford Bridge this summer.

Malouda was expected to be offloaded this summer especially after the arrival of Juan Mata. However, AVB has no plans to sell the wide man and admits the club can’t afford to let him leave:

“As we are speaking about the number of goals and assists that Mata has made at Valencia, let’s speak about the number that Malouda has made for Chelsea,” said the 33-year-old.

“We can’t let ourselves sell talent of this quality.”
