Matt Miazga accepts his time with Chelsea is coming to an end.

The US international defender joined the Blues from New York Red Bulls for £3.5million five years ago. But Miazga, 25, has since made just two senior appearances - both in April 2016.

Miazga's Chelsea contract is up this summer, and he hopes Belgians Anderlecht will hand him a new deal after impressing for Vincent Kompany's side.

Miazga said: "I can't say anything for sure about whether I will be with Anderlecht next season.

"But what I can say is that I don't expect to get an extension at Chelsea.

"It hasn't happened for me there. But, listen, I would do it all again given the chance.

"I have lots of respect for Chelsea, and learned a hell of a lot with them.

"I've trained alongside stars like Eden Hazard, and I have been able to play twice in the Premier League.

"It has been unforgettable."
