Florent Malouda insists he has no regrets about joining Chelsea Football Club.

The France international is yet to find his best form since moving to England from Lyon in the summer of 2007, and he was linked with a transfer from Stamford Bridge in the summer.

However, the 28-year-old stayed in London and he has impressed at times this season, making his decision not to ask for a transfer look like the right one.

"I never thought about leaving because I came here and signed a four-year deal," said Malouda. "I came here to stay and try to reach level where I'm in the team and have an importance in the team.

"I'm really happy in Chelsea and have the confidence of the lads, the board and everybody. I had my first bad year. I knew when I came to England that the first year would be difficult.

"When the new coach arrived he told me he wanted to help me get back to my best level. That is what you are seeing now. I hope the best is to come."
