Asmir Begovic believes he is wasted warming the Chelsea bench as edges closer to the exit.
The Bosnian keeper made just his fifth appearance of the season in Saturday’s west London derby win against Brentford and is frustrated playing second fiddle to Thibaut Courtois.
Bournemouth are monitoring the 29-year old's situation, and he could move to the Cherries before Tuesday night’s deadline providing the Blues can sign a replacement.
The former Stoke shot-stopper insists he has no regrets joining Chelsea but admits he’s desperate to get back playing first-team football.
He said: “I have spoken with the boss - we are quite open about it, he knows I am desperate to play, and that’s all it is really.
“If he can make it happen for me he will. That is something that is going to be sorted out in the next couple of days.
“I’m 29 – 30 in the summer – and feel fantastic and in great shape. It would be a waste not to play and show people what I can do.”
The Blues are eight points clear at the top of the table, and Begovic admits it will be tough to leave a team who are the overwhelming favourites for the title.
He added: “I hope that the team lifts the title and and maybe I will be part of that, but it is difficult when you don’t play for a certain amount of time. That overrides everything, your football.
"I like to play and I came here to challenge myself''.
