Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said today he wants to stay at Chelsea for the rest of his playing career.

The Dutch striker has attracted interest from Barcelona this season but he insists he is happy to stay at Stamford Bridge.

"I'd like to finish my career at Chelsea if it's possible. It's still really far away, but I feel at home here. You can always look for something better, but is there something better? I don't know," he told the London Evening Standard."I'm settled at Chelsea and it's not a must that I have to look for a bigger or better club. Chelsea is close to my heart and I'm happy here".

Chelsea's form has improved significantly this season as Claudio Ranieri's side search for a Champions League spot and Hasselbaink has doubts whether he could find a "better" club.
