Alvaro Arbeloa insists he's staying with West Ham.

The former Real Madrid fullback has battled for form since his arrival.

But he told the Guardian: "I do not regret coming. I'm not leaving. I'm going to stay with West Ham until the summer.

"I would like to play more, but if I do not ask when I play I will not do it when I do not play.

"It'll only create another problem."

Arbeloa's deal runs to the end of this season.
