Zola Pleased With Approach

Last updated : 19 December 2002 By Rich Godden
Yesterday's big news was that Trevor Birch confirmed that the club intend to offer Zola a new contract... and Franco's comments add fuel to the fire that he will indeed sign a new contract.

Franco said, "I'm pleased that the club is approaching me, that's certainly a good indication. Now I have to talk to them and see what comes out of that.

"I really appreciate the club coming to talk to me."

If that doesn't indicate that he wants to stay, what is it telling us? I think that Chelsea are going to reap the rewards of any money that they spend on Zola's new contract- the man attracts fans to The Bridge like flies around s*it!

Stay tuned to Chelsea Mad to see who has won our Zola competition...
