Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois pledges his future to the club by stating that he has no intention of leaving.

Thibaut Courtois has denied suggestions that he is looking to move away from Chelsea this summer and instead declared that he will remain at the club in the hope of winning more silverware.

The 24-year-old admitted in June in an interview with the Belgian press that he had no real desire to finish his career in West London, leading to talk of a summer move away.

Matters were made more complicated by revelations of a supposed fallout with goalkeeping coach Christophe Lollichon, but Courtois has now insisted that he is "very happy" at Stamford Bridge and is looking forward to working under new boss Antonio Conte.

"I am very happy at Chelsea and want to stay," he told the London Evening Standard. "I will try to show in every game that I am one of the best keepers in the world. I know that I didn't have the best of seasons but there are things that I have said in Belgium which have been misconstrued in England.

"It unfortunately has given the supporters the wrong impression. It has put me and Chelsea in a bad light, that's not good. I have never said I wanted to leave or anything. When it looks like I'm being put against the supporters, it's not nice. Am I upset the fans have the wrong impression of me? Yes, of course.

"I don't want them to think bad of me. In preseason I showed the quality I have. People may have had doubts about me. But I think in the Euros for Belgium I showed I am one of the best and I want to continue showing that. My objective, together with the team, is to get back to winning the League and show that Chelsea are one of the best sides in the world."

Courtois featured 30 times for Chelsea last season in all competitions and was named in the starting lineup for Monday evening's meeting with West Ham United.
