Belgian happy at Goodison but ambitious
Marouane Fellaini has his options open regarding his future, insisting that he is happy at Everton but wants to play European football.

"If I have got to go, I will go. If not, I repeat, I am at Everton," the Belgian said when pressed about unfounded media speculation concerning interest from Chelsea.

Fellaini signed a new five-year contract with the Blues in November but with another impressive season in David Moyes's midfeld under his belt and given Everton's failure to qualify for Europe,the vultures are circling once more.

"Every year they say I'll be transferred to the left or right but I'm still at Everton.

"If it comes, I take, if it does not come, I stay at Everton, where I am happy, and where I still have a four-year contract.

"Everything goes fast in football. You can be transferred tomorrow, as you can be in one or two years."

The 24-year-old stressed his ambitions, though, and admitted that he would fine with moving on if a Champions League side came in for him.

"Last season we finished seventh with Everton, and we were not able to qualify for Europe, which was a shame.

"I am ambitious; I want to play in the Champions League or in the Europa League.

"If an ambitious club comes in for me? Why not, just to gain experience but I'm on vacation right now, I do not give [speculation] too much attention."
