Florent Malouda has warned Premier League title hopefuls Chelsea that he will look to leave Stamford Bridge if he continues to be a fringe player.
The French international has struggled for first-team action under Carlo Ancelotti due to the Italian's use of a 4-3-1-2 formation this term.
It has left Malouda kicking his heels on the bench for the majority of time, despite him enjoying his best campaign for the Londoners last season.
As a result he feels it could be time to move on in the summer given that Chelsea will not allow any player departures this month.
Malouda told L'Equipe: "Carlo Ancelotti's tactical system is physically very demanding. Recently we showed less intensity, the game was less fluid. But that system allowed us to be in our current position. All the players support it.
"Before the match against Birmingham, I talked to the coach. I told him about my frustration.
"I believe I have succeeded in my start to the season, but during the key matches against Arsenal or Man Utd, I was on the bench.
"I have ambitions for the World Cup, and considering my status in the French team it is a little annoying (being on the bench).
"Ancelotti is aware of it. But currently I am paying for that system. It is not that easy for him either, he has a big group to manage.
"My competition with Lampard as left midfielder? It is his best position. He played like that in the England team, and we are in a World Cup year.
"But at a certain point, the status has to be in relationship with the performances.
"Anyway, I am fine so far. I could still be outstanding when I play.
"The frustration is big matches. However, if there is no place for me in that system, I could go somewhere else.
"Finding a new club is not a problem. But the club has closed the door to any departure either in January or in June. The coach relies on me."
