Brazilian midfielder Edu is determined to prove himself at Valencia, having endured three torrid years at the Mestalla to date.
The 30-year-old has made just over 30 appearance for Los Che since his arrival from Arsenal in the summer of 2005, but remains upbeat about his future with Valencia.
He told AS: "I received some offers over the summer, above all from England, because people knew I had recovered.
"But I want to stay with Valencia and to have a good season and be a success here. I do not want to think about anything other than Valencia.
"This year really is vital for me. The previous three have been full of problems, mainly because of injuries.
"I came here to enjoy myself and I know expectations were high after I came from Arsenal, now I just hope I can stay clear of injuries."
