Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has warned any potential admirers of Joe Cole that the midfielder has a future at Stamford Bridge.
Cole has 18 months remaining on his current deal in West London, but rumours have been circulating that the England international is considering his future.
Discussions regarding a new contract for the 27-year-old, who is not guaranteed regular first-team football in Scolari's side, were put on hold earlier this season to fuel speculation that he could be heading for the exit.
But ahead of Chelsea's crucial clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, Scolari insists Cole remains in his plans.
When asked whether Cole will be at the club in the long term, Scolari said: "Yes, he will.
"He is a fantastic player and important for the club and for me. He scores many goals and his future is here."
