Fernando Torres thinks that he "deserves more respect" from the media, despite a disappointing term at Chelsea.

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has slammed rumours that he will leave the club next month, and believes that he "deserves more respect".

The Spain international has been linked with a switch away from Stamford Bridge despite only being at the club for just under a year.

The 27-year-old has struggled to find the form that made him a fan favourite at Liverpool before his £50m move to the Blues.

"When I read something in the Spanish press, I think so. When I read it in the English press, I know that's a lie," Torres Canal+ La Liga TV.

"It's true that [Spain manager] Vicente Del Bosque is worried about me and my form for Chelsea. It's up to me to go back to being the striker I was before.

"I am going to try to be very humble and get back into the Chelsea starting line-up. My form has not been good but I am world and European champion and I deserve more respect. It's hard being on the bench but I respect the players who are playing. I'm going to support the team and get back in."

The frontman has netted just three goals since his winter move to the former Premier League champions.
