Marco van Ginkel has admitted he fears his Chelsea career is over.

The Dutch international joined the Blues from Vitesse Arnhem in an £8million deal eight years ago.

However he has since made just FOUR club appearances, spending six seasons out on loan to AC Milan, Stoke and PSV Eindhoven.

Out of contract in the summer, he said: “Chelsea have to let me know officially next week whether they will take up their option.

“I will calmly wait to find out, and then we will see what happens. The chances that I will go on to play for them are not great.

“But if I can play matches I have some value, and [with a new contract] they could still get a few millions for me. I don’t yet know what they plan. It could happen, or maybe they will let me go.”
