Chelsea loanee Michy Batshuayi has ruled out speculation that his loan spell at Valencia might come to an early end.
The Belgian striker has struggled to adapt to Spanish football, scoring just once in 11 appearances, with his side slipping to 15th in La Liga.
And a potential early return to Chelsea has been mooted after the 25-year-old scored both goals for Belgium in the country’s Uefa Nations League victory over Iceland on Thursday.
The striker combined well with his former teammate Eden Hazard furthering rumours the pair might be reunited but Batshuayi was quick to quash such talk after the game.
“On my departure from Valencia, there are only rumours,” Batshuayi said.
“I have no problem with the club and I understand the coach [Marcelino] very well.
“We are in a bad phase, but we will continue working to overcome the slump.”
Belgium manager Roberto Martinez praised the striker's impressive performance in place of Romelu Lukaku with Belgium now able to secure a first placed finish in League A Group 2 with victory against Switzerland on Sunday.
“He moved well for the opening goal,” Martinez said. “I’m glad he scored twice, but he also played a good game. I was delighted with his overall performance.”
