CAEN, Sep 27 (Sw) - French starlet Yohann Gouffran said that he rejected a move to Chelsea this summer to stay another year at Caen.

The 20-year old, regarded as one of Europe's top talents, wants to continue his football education at the French Ligue 2 outfit.

"I wanted to stay for at least one more year, because Caen's project is interesting," Gouffran told Skysports.com.

"The club's directors want to reach Ligue 1 next summer.

"If we fail, I will leave."

Other teams that approached Gouffran include Monaco and AJ Auxerre.
