Brighton striker Jurgen Locadia has insisted he never wanted to leave the club.
Locadia was said to be unsettled earlier in the season.
But he has returned to form, scoring his second goal in a week to help his side defeat Everton. The win kept Brighton in 13th in the table, with a six point gap to Crystal Palace, who are a position lower.
The Dutch forward said after the win over Everton: "I never wanted to go on loan or be sold in January. That's not my intention.
"But I made it clear I want to play games and I talked with the gaffer also.
"I think my place is here in Brighton. I know I have had a difficult time not playing games but I think I have shown the last two games I am worthy of being here."
