Clarence Seedorf is flattered to be linked with a move to Chelsea but insists he will still be an AC Milan player next season.

There had been speculation the 33-year-old midfielder could move to Stamford Bridge to link up with his former Rossoneri coach Carlo Ancelotti, who was confirmed as Blues boss on 1 June.

But the Dutchman is not interested in moving to the Barclays Premier League.

He told his website, www.seedorf.com: "It's beautiful news, that Ancelotti wants me in London, but next year I will still be playing for Milan.

"I have a contract with Milan and I am a player of Milan. Here I am well.

"I hope to still play for at least three or four years more. After that I have a whole lifetime ahead of me to do good."

Seedorf played for six and a half years under Ancelotti at Milan. Together they won two Champions League titles, the Club World Cup, two European Super Cups, the Coppa Italia and the Italian Supercoppa.
