RB Leipzig boss Marco Rose has confirmed Josko Gvardiol wants to play in the Premier League amid interest from Chelsea.

However, Rose has told Chelsea that the Croatian international defender is going nowhere despite his desire to play in the Premier League.

Rose said: “Joško Gvardiol will be a RB Leipzig player next season as well. I am the coach and I am asking for that. He is happy here.

“He said he wants to play in the Premier League, but he didn’t say when.”

Gvardiol has spoken about his collapsed move to Chelsea last summer.

He said: “My agent called me and said that Chelsea is extremely interested and, of course, you definitely think about a serious offer from a huge club like Chelsea.

“Leipzig said they didn’t want to sell me.

“In the end I really struggled with that decision but we didn’t make an agreement. It is what it is.”
