Cape Town - Senegal international striker Demba Ba is set to remain at the Bridge next season after he revealed that Jose Mourinho had asked him to stay at the club.
Ba's future at the club was uncertain after only starting six games for the Blues. Important goals against Paris St Germain, Swansea and Liverpool in the latter stages of the season though, may well have swayed Mourinho's decision.
"Jose Mourinho has asked me to stay at Chelsea next season," Ba is quoted in the Daily Star. "He assured me that my situation wouldn't change.
"I see this as my reward from God. I weighed up the pros and cons, and think that I will stay put to see what happens.
"I don't know whether my situation will improve, but what with the coach's offer anything can happen.
"I want to play a lot of matches and I think that will be the case for me".
