Sheva wants Milan stay
Ukrainian striker Andrei Shevchenko, on loan at AC Milan from Chelsea, said on Monday that he hoped to prolong his stay at the Italian giants beyond the end of the season.
"I feel good at the moment," he said during an event organised by the club.
Despite his optimism, Shevchenko has endured a less than spectacular return to the San Siro and has failed to pin down a first-team place.
He came on with 15 minutes remaining in Milan's 2-0 victory over Lecce on Sunday and laid on the second goal for Italian forward Filippo Inzaghi in injury time.
"I want to continue in this vein and do my best between now and the end of the season," Shevchenko said.
"My wish is to stay at Milan next season. But on that subject, no decision has yet been taken."
After two forgettable years at Chelsea, the 32-year-old was loaned to Milan, the club where he shone between 1999 and 2006, firing them to a Champions League title in 2003 and the Italian championship in 2004.
But with Inzaghi, Marco Borriello and the Brazilian trio of Kaka, Ronaldinho and Alexandre Pato ahead of him in the attacking pecking order, Shevchenko has had to get used to spending time on the sidelines.
He has played 14 times in Serie A this season, but has started just twice and is yet to score in the league.
