Mateo Kovacic says it's "too early" to talk about whether he will remain at Chelsea beyond this season, but is very happy with life in London.

The midfielder has adapted quickly to the Premier League since arriving on a season-long loan move from Real Madrid, where he played a mostly substitute role last term.

Kovacic is playing regularly under Chelsea coach Maurizio Sarri, which has led to early questions about whether the Croatia international will stay at the club beyond next summer.

It is unclear whether Chelsea have an option to buy Kovacic next summer but the player has settled well at Stamford Bridge.

"It’s too early for these questions, I am here and very happy," Kovacic said when asked about whether he would remain at Chelsea beyond next summer.

"[Playing regularly] is good, I’m a little bit tired. I was not used to playing every three or four games and here it is very tough football.

"You can’t relax against anybody so it’s a little bit difficult but I really enjoy it. We have a great team, great fans and the city is nice. I like it a lot here.

"I go around and I enjoy the city — it’s huge and I haven’t seen enough of it yet. I’m looking forward to getting to know it more. I’m enjoying it. What’s the most interesting thing I’ve seen so far? The stadium.

"I don’t do anything special. I spend a lot of time in Cobham because I need to prepare myself for training and every game but after that I go home and enjoy time with my wife.

"Nothing special, we go for dinner, we live in the city so we are walking a lot. My family enjoys the city and that’s the most important thing for me in the end."
