Spain international Fernando Torres insists he is committed to fulfilling his contract with Chelsea, and has targeted the Club World Cup as the next in a long line of trophy successes in west London.

The World Cup and European Championships winner has failed to hit the high notes with the Blues after joining for £50million from Liverpool in 2011, leaving many to believe a Stamford Bridge exit is imminent.
Torres, though, says he is determined to continue his work at the club, and believes their Champions League and FA Cup double last season was just the beginning.
"I knew that one of the main reasons to come to Chelsea was that Chelsea are always aiming for trophies," he told FIFA's official website.
"I needed to win trophies because they are what you have after you have finished. In my first full season we won the FA Cup and Champions League, what more can you ask?
"We have a chance now to win the Club World Cup. I have four more years on my contract, hopefully in these four years I can win many more things than the Champions League and FA Cup, starting with the Club World Cup."
Chelsea have been well off the boil of late and defeats against West Brom in the Premier League and Juventus in the European Cup led to the sacking of manager Roberto Di Matteo, with Rafael Benitez since having been brought in as interim boss.
The Spaniard, though, has since led the side to two goalless draws and a defeat to West Ham last time out, while their adventure in Europe's premier club cup competition looks all but over heading into the final round of fixtures on Wednesday.
Torres, though, believes the club's relatively new squad, which includes summer signings Oscar and Eden Hazard, merely need a bit more time to gel before they can once again start challenging for silverware.
"We have been very good defensively this season," he explained. "But in the middle we have huge quality and those kinds of players have to be the key for us because we need to play for them and the strikers need to understand what they like to do to score more goals.
"It's just a matter of time and training and being sure that we understand each other. With [Juan] Mata I have been playing for many years in the national team and last season at Chelsea.
"But Oscar and Eden have just arrived and we need to train more to improve."
