Chelsea winger Shaun
Wright-Phillips has vowed to stay at Stamford Bridge despite having
a bit-part role under boss Jose Mourinho.
Wright-Phillips scored twice in Chelsea's 4-1 demolition of West
Ham but is still struggling to gain a regular starting place for
The Blues.
And the 25-year-old, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City in a
deal worth £21million in 2005, insists he will stay at the club and
fight to figure in Mourinho's plans.
"I really don't believe I have anything to prove to anyone - except
myself - that I am good enough," he told The Sun.
"My mum and dad have helped keep me going and have stressed that,
if you want something that bad, then you should never give
up."
Quick to rubbish reports he may be leaving the club,
Wright-Phillips added: "There has been a lot of talk about me
leaving Chelsea but you will find that it has never come from
me.
"I am not going to give up. I went to Chelsea to achieve something
and will carry on until I succeed."
With such strong competition for a starting place at Stamford
Bridge the England wideman knows he will have to work at achieving
a consistent role.
"Right from the first day I went to Chelsea, I knew it was not
going to be easy and that I wouldn't play all the time," he
added.
"It's up to me to change the manager's mind about his selection
with my performances. That is the same mentality most professional
footballers have."
