Midfielder Marco van Ginkel has confirmed Chelsea have offered him a new contract to keep him at the club.
The Dutchman has made just four appearances for the Blues since joining Chelsea from Vitesse in 2013 due to injury problems and loan spells away from the club.
Van Ginkel is out of contract at Chelsea this summer but the Blues want him to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge despite playing his last competitive match two years ago.
The 27 year old told Dutch daily the Algemeen Dagblad: “I am very happy with that sign of trust from Chelsea.
“It is no small thing that a club try to keep you in this uncertain period after such a long time with injury.
“Apparently they see something in me, although we still have to work it out”, Van Ginkel added.
