Blackburn striker Benni McCarthy admits he is flattered to be linked with Chelsea as speculation mounts with regards his future.

"I am very flattered to be linked with clubs like Chelsea and West Ham, with great history and both are great teams in the Premier League," he told Sky Sports News.

"Like I said, I've got a contract and I am here to serve a duty to my club that I am contracted at.

"But if the opportunity does come to go and play for a team where you can move up a level and play Champions League football, that will always be my dream.

"That is always what I strive towards as a player, to play at the highest level.

"If that opportunity occurs to go and play for a team like that, then I would love for my management to look at the possibility and look in their heart to make it possible to make a move like that."
