Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou has revealed that he is ready to look for another club if he fails to become a permanent fixture in the Blues side under boss Luiz Felipe Scolari.
The 23-year-old Ivory Coast International has been at Stamford Bridge since joining from Feyenoord in 2006, but has been frustrated by his lack of opportunities under new manager Scolari and is ready to leave the Premier League side in search of a new challenge, if he has to.
However, Kalou is prepared to work hard to get more playing time under Scolari, with the forward insisting that any move would have to be the perfect choice.
Kalou told setantasports.com: “Of course I practice hard to have opportunities, but the manager’s decisions must be respected, even if I’m here to play.
“It’s up to me to work twice as hard at training, and to be honest I try to give my best in order to improve my football and hopefully it’s going to pay off.
“I don’t know what my future consists of, the season is still long. It’s too early to take a decision right now.
“When a young player arrives at Chelsea he’s happy to learn, and then you can have the opportunity to grow in another club or in here.
“As a young player I am aware of the fact that I have to make the perfect choice and at some point of my career I’ll have to accept to fly with my own wings.”
Scolari revealed recently that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had made an approach to bring Kalou to the Emirates Stadium during the summer, but was not prepared to let Kalou leave. However, should the Gunners make an approach in January, Kalou might believe that a switch to the North London side could be the perfect choice.
