I'M GOING NOWHERE: Torres insists he's got no plans to leave Chelsea this summer

Spanish striker Torres has flopped in west London since his blockbuster £50m move from Liverpool in 2011.

The 30-year-old has struggled for game time during Jose Mourinho's reign, with the Portuguese often preferring Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o in a lone role up top.

Mourinho has spoken repeatedly about his desire to bring in a top class forward, with Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa primed to join in a £32m deal.

Yet despite his boss writing him off, Torres insists he wants to stay and fight for his place at the Bridge.

"It is clear that he intends to hire another striker, but I will continue to work to change his opinion," Torres told French magazine So Foot.

"Not much to say, it's impossible to do another reading: he is not completely satisfied with our performances."

Torres was a hero on Merseyside before completing his shock switch to Chelsea in January 2011.

He netted 81 goals in 126 starts for the Anfield side, but has struggled with the Blues, claiming just 46 goals in 172 appearances.Chelsea flop Fernando Torres REFUSES to quit Stamford Bridge

And Torres, who is set to feature for Spain in the World Cup this summer, is at a loss to explain his lack of form for Mourinho's side.

"Today I'm a different player, but I will not lie: I miss being player I once was, who had a guaranteed place in the starting team," he added. "At one point I found myself watching the videos of my goals, I wanted to understand what had changed.

"it was bizarre, it seemed that soon got tired, or until it was heavier. It had gas.

"When you're on the bench you have to fight against many things, sometimes against yourself."
