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.
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”.
