Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka has denied reports that he will leave Stamford Bridge in January.
The Times had quoted the Frenchman as saying that he was on his way out of the club.
"Following the quotations attributed to me in an English newspaper, I'd like to categorically deny having given any interview, let alone spoken about my future," Anelka told AFP.
"I'm under contract with Chelsea until the end of the season, with many playing commitments."
Anelka was not in the squad for the Blues' 2-1 Champions League defeat to Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday night.
