Didier Drogba has denied talk that he has been unsettled at Chelsea following the ufffd50 million January arrival of Fernando Torres and insists he is "really happy" at the club.

Drogba has not scored since Torres' deadline day move and extended his run without a goal to nine matches following Wednesday's Champions League stalemate against Copenhagen.

"I keep saying it, I'm here and I'm giving everything and it's normal that the club wants to buy another striker because we are ambitious and we want to win the Champions League.

"And it's normal for us to bring a player like him [Torres]. So I just want to say I'm here and I'm really happy because the fans know that my commitment for the team is 100 per cent."

The 33-year-old has been relegated to the bench on three occasions following Torres' arrival as he finds himself in the rare position of not being an automatic first choice. Yet he says talk of him being unsettled by the jostling for positions up front is untrue.

"That's not the case, The best way to prove that is with what I'm doing on the pitch. I think, from my attitude, people see that I'm involved and I'm into the team 200 per cent."
