Ghana winger Christian Atsu says he focused on excelling at Everton and not worried about his long-term future with Chelsea.
Atsu cost Chelsea £3.5m from Porto in 2013 but was loaned out to Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem last season.
The Londoners splashed out £26.8m in last month's transfer window on another winger, Colombian Juan Cuadrado, but given that Everton also drafted in a new wide man in the shape of Aaron Lennon, Atsu isn't looking as far ahead as a potential Stamford Bridge return.
He said: "I only ever think about myself and not who they sign or don't sign.
"I don't want to say anything about my future with Chelsea, I am just focused on Everton and the immediate future.
"But I believe in myself. I have never looked down, I stay focused and ready to meet any situation in football or life."
