Gary Cahill has told Chelsea he wants to leave and is hopeful of moving when the January transfer window opens.

Cahill, who has not played a single minute this season, holds no grudges against new manager Maurizio Sarri who has led the side to five consecutive Premier League wins.

Their sixth straight victory came against Greek side PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday, though the England defender was once again forced to watch from the sidelines.

“A lot of things have been running through my head,” Cahill said. “For me to do this all season is going to be very difficult. I’m not a guy who is willing to accept not playing.

“It’s all about playing. Your career’s short enough as it is.

“I’ve got maximum respect for everybody here at the club, the fans and the players.

“But sometimes you have to make tough decisions to keep your career going forward.”

Asked whether he will have to leave in January, Cahill admitted: “I don’t want to jump the gun, but as things stand, probably yes.

“Whatever my future holds, the relationship I have with the club and fans will have been a huge part of my footballing life.

“I realise that sometimes you have to make tough decisions. I realise sometimes football doesn’t wait for people. You have to make those decisions to keep progressing.

“I fully expected to miss the start of the season and we’ve not lost, so there are no arguments. When you’re winning games you have to sit tight, suck it up and deal with it.”
