Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi wants to remain and fight for a shirt at Chelsea.
The Belgian is a transfer target for French Ligue 1 side Lille while Premier League clubs West Ham United have held talks about the possibility of signing the striker on loan.
The reigning Premier League Champions are not willing to sell without a replacement on the card for the deputy striker.
Batshuayi, 23, feels he will get more playing chances this campaign now that the striker has had ample time to show manager Antonio Conte what he is capable of offering the club.
But his season kicked off in an ignominious way, coming off the substitute bench against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium before heading in an own goal past Chelsea goal keeper Thibaut Courtois.
Fortunately for the striker, Spaniard Marcos Alonso’s second goal of the matched bailed the promising striker out as the West Londoners secured three vital away points.
The Blues have signed Spain international striker Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid and are considering tabling a bid for Swansea City’s Fernando Llorente.
But the current transfer saga surrounding Chelsea outcast Diego Costa’s future means Chelsea will rely on the Belgian to continue where he left off from last term.
Batshuayi found the back of the net four times in the last three Premier League matches including the goal that secured the Premier League title at West Bromwich Albion.
