Fernando Torres: I will not quit Chelsea despite transfer rumours
Chelsea forward Fernando Torres insists he has no plans to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, despite increasing speculation returning boss Jose Mourinho is looking to ship out the Spaniard.
Torres has struggled for consistent form in west London since his £50m arrival from Liverpool in 2011.
But the 29-year-old finished 2012/13 as Chelseas top scorer in all competitions, having netted 22 goals two more than compatriot and Blues Player of the Year Juan Mata.
And Torres insists he is looking forward to continuing his return to form under Jose Mourinho, with the Portugueses return to Stamford Bridge having been confirmed earlier this week.
Im looking forward to the chance of working with Jose, he said.
It is the same every summer, there is talk and rumours every day.
When I signed for Chelsea I signed for five-and-a-half years and I want to be there for all of that.
Chelsea have been strongly linked with a move for in-demand Napoli forward Edinson Cavani and the clubs president Aurelio De Laurentiis revealed he has held talks with the Blues over a deal for the 26-year-old.
And with the return of hot prospect Romelu Lukaku from his hugely successful season-long loan at West Brom, Torres place in Mourinhos side looks increasingly under threat.
