Dunfermline defender Souleymane Bamba admits Saturday′s Tennent′s Scottish Cup final against Celtic is likely be his final match for the Pars - even though he is reluctant to leave.
The 22-year-old claims the relegation of boss Stephen Kenny′s side to the First Division should be the cue for his exit.
Kalou told French website www.football365.fr: "I had a talk last Thursday with the manager and I told him that I didn′t know what to do. I′m captain of the Ivory Coast second team and I should leave for the sake of my progress. But I′m happy here. Life is good and my family like it here."
He added: "We′re going to the [First Division] but at the same time we′re going to be playing in the UEFA Cup. I′m thinking about it but the best solution would definitely be to leave. My aim is to stay in Britain. Plenty of people tell me that I can progress in England and in the national team."
Having seen Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou shine for Chelsea, Bamba believes he too could become an established player in England.
He added: "My aim is to work to achieve the same standard as them and play for a great club as they do."
