Trevoh Chalobah is digging in his heels at Chelsea.
The defender has been left out of Chelsea's pre-season tour of the US, as they encourage him to find a new club.
However, Chalobah doesn't want to leave, convinced he can compete successfully with the current centre-half pool at the club.
Wesley Fofana, Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile and Levi Colwill are among the defensive options at Chelsea, but Chalobah is confident of finding a first-team place among the competition.
Despite Chalobah's confidence, Chelsea want to sell and are encouraging offers for the homegrown stopper. Nottingham Forest have been mentioned as an early suitor.
