Jermaine Pennant has pledged his future to Stoke and says he will stay at the club and fight for his first-team place.
The winger has had to settle for a place on the bench in recent weeks and that has kicked off speculation suggesting he could be on the move before the transfer window closes.
However, Pennant says that is not the case and has vowed to win his place back in the Potters side.
"I'm in no rush to be going anywhere," Pennant revealed. "I've not asked to leave and the club has not given a signal they want me to leave.
"As soon as the transfer window is over then I won't have to answer these questions any more, and everyone will know I'll be here. It's frustrating for any player.
"You always want to start and play 90 minutes, but if it's not happening then you have to keep plugging away."
