Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas insists he wants to stay.

He has started just five Premier League games this season and has largely been used as a substitute.

Cesc told Sky Sports: "100 per cent. I am not thinking about anything else than challenging myself here. The situation from six months ago to now has changed massively.

"From the beginning it has been a big challenge and there are always rumours, you cannot stop that, but I don't even care what people say. Not for one second did I want to leave.

"Sometimes it's so easy, you don't play two games, you get frustrated and upset and want to move somewhere else, but for me it's the opposite; I want to challenge myself.

"I know in my brain what I can do and if I am better than others or not. I know what I can bring to this team and by improving and listening to the manager and what he wants and doesn't want, I know myself what I can give.

"I have been proving myself every time I have had a chance and I will not stop until I play every game which is what I want."
