Alex wants to play out career with Chelsea

Alex has declared he would love to play out his career with Chelsea.

The centre-half joined the Blues on the eve of the 2007 Barclays Premier League season after three years playing in Holland at PSV Eindhoven.

The Brazilian international signed a new deal last season to extend his stay for a further four years and now says that he wants to remain at the club for life.

"To be here is a good feeling, it's very important for me and I'm very happy," said Alex.

"In my career I never expected this, that one day I would come to play in England for a big team like Chelsea, and complete 100 games.

"I'm very happy and hope to stay here for a long, long time and play for 200 or 300 games. This season I have been here longer than PSV, it feels like home and I hope I can stay here for the rest of my career."
