The England skipper, 28, has responded to persistent reports linking him with a big money move to Manchester City by releasing a statement in which he insists he has never contemplated leaving Chelsea.

The statement said: “There has been a lot of speculation recently about my future and I want to clear this up once and for all.

“I am totally committed to Chelsea and always have been.

“Chelsea have also made it clear to me consistently that there was never any intention to accept any kind of offer.”
