Lassana Diarra has vowed to prove himself at Chelsea after making peace with manager Jose Mourinho.
The 21-year-old appeared to be on his way out of Stamford Bridge last month following a run-in with his coach.
He turned up late for the FA Cup win over Macclesfield, prompting Mourinho to hand the midfielder a severe dressing down.
Paris Saint Germain came in with a loan offer for Diarra in January, but Mourinho called a halt to the deal at the 11th hour and the pair have since made their peace.
"We had a long discussion and both made our point," Diarra told The Sun.
"He did not promise I would be first choice but said I would get a chance."
Diarra has been a regular starter in recent games and he is determined to establish himself at Stamford Bridge.
He added: "Now I am starting in more matches and the team is also winning.
"I have a contract at Chelsea and am staying."
We should keep this guy. He did well the last few times he started for Chelsea.
