The Côte d'Ivoire international is happy to stay at Grand Stade Lille Metropole but is unsure about his future with the 2010/2011 champions of France
The 27-year-old has been linked with a move away from Les Dogues in recent months as the player has failed to settle in France. The forward, who moved to Lille in the summer of 2012 after his contract with Chelsea FC expired at the end of last season, has
failed to nail down a regular place in Rudi Garcia’s starting eleven and there are serious doubts about his future in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Salomon-Kalou-c32266, while talking to reporters at a press conference, expressed his desire to stay with the club from Northern France and to see out the rest of his contract with the French giants.
The 27-year-old said that although he wants to stay at Grand Stade Lille Metropole, he is not sure whether he will leave in this winter’s mercato or not.
"I do not know if I will leave in this window,” said the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 forward
The Cote d’Ivoire international said that he has a four-year contract with LOSC Lille and he would love to see out his contract. The player added that it was hard for him in the start as he was not familiar with the Ligue 1 at all. Playing in a totally new
atmosphere is never an easy task and Kalou believes that he needs more time to settle at his new club.
The forward feels that after a tough start to the life in France, he is slowly settling here and is confident that he will prove his worth eventually.
"I have a four-year contract with Lille. I am settling here slowly.”
Talking about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lille-OSC-c39800, Salomon Kalou said that Les Dogues are lucky to have such an amazing coach at the helm, who has faith in the abilities of the former Chelsea player.
The 27-year-old once again stressed that he wants to stay with Lille and play regularly.
"They have a great coach who has faith in me. He wants me here and I want to be here and play week in, week out - which I was not doing at Chelsea."
