Oriol Romeu insists he wants to stay at Southampton.

The Spaniard was linked with a move away from St. Mary's last month.

Romeu said: "There were rumours but that was just talk.

"The club always told me that they want me here and I am more than happy to be here.

"I want to be competing for a spot in the team because I'm ready to go.

"We have some good moments to come until the end of the season because the team is doing very well.

"The team has a good dynamic and that's something you want to be part of.

"You always want to be involved."
