STAYING

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has ruled out leaving the club in the summer and has said that he wants to stay with the Premier league outfit for three more years. Torres has stated that he has a contract with the 2012 European champions for three more years and he wants to see it out. The former Liverpool striker has been widely linked with a move away from the club after failing to recapture his form from the Anfield days. He has been a major disappointment, as his goal ratio of a goal per three games has been deemed too good for £ 50 million.

Torres, though, has been showing signs of returning to his former glory days, as there have been several periods where he has looked very good. The striker is expected to play in the Europa league semi-final match against FC Basel. This will be his third game in the last seven days, but he has said that he is very much looking forward to stepping out on the pitch. Torres has managed to find the back of the net in three of the last four European matches. He has said that the prospect of winning the Europa league is keeping the club going amidst a lot of negativity.

“I have many things still to give to this club. I have three more years contract so I expect to stay at least three years. We won the Champions League last season. Hopefully we can win the Europa League. It is our priority as well as finishing in the top four [of the Premier League]. We want to go back to the Champions League next season and keep winning trophies. We are sure that we are a great team and we want to show everyone. I would like to be involved,” said Torres.
