He told the : "The opportunity to play against the best players in the world is massive for my career.

"There is an option for Leganes to sign me on a permanent basis and hopefully that will happen.

"The Chelsea management have never stopped me from making important career decisions and they've been very supportive.

"It will be a decision between both clubs, but personally I hope I'll be a Leganes player for next season and beyond.

'CAREER GROWTH'

"I deserve stability in my career as a footballer. Leganes and Spanish football provides me with the continuity and right environment for career growth."
