Cesc Fabregas: I will be at Chelsea next season 100%
It has been a difficult period for Cesc Fabregas at Chelsea as coach Antonio Conte prefers more aggressive and mobile midfielders which gives the nod to Ngolo Kante and Nemanja Matic leaving Fabregas living on scraps, mainly as second half substitute or a start in less fancied EFL and FA Cup matches.
The Spaniard remains upbeat about his future and vows to remain at SW6 next season.
Asked if he sees himself at Chelsea next season, he said: "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."
"It's been shown in many games this year, even when I have come on for five minutes, I have done something to make a change in the team," he said.
"The most important thing is when you have the chance you take it and I think I have done that throughout the season. It's a challenge to be ready every time the coach needs you and then change his mind and trust you more and make it into the team.
"You always have to compete against players. Sometimes you are on the pitch and have to compete with players so they don't overtake you. This season it has been the other way around, I have had to compete more in training or in the little minutes I had to prove myself to try to be in the starting XI.
"Now I am playing much more than at the start of the season and hopefully I am changing the manager's mind a little bit and can get many more starts."
Fabregas will make his 300th Premier League appearance when Chelsea take on Swansea City at Stamford Bridge later today.
