"My mission is to work each day and fight for a place in the team," he told Sky Sports.
"The coach makes the decision and I accept it like a professional.
"I insist that I have no problems with the coach. I respect his decisions and that is fine with me.
"I believe that I am still able to play for Boro. It is my challenge to play in a match in the Premier League. In the summer my situation was worse.
"In the last weeks I have not spoken to the directors about my future.
"I saw some rumours in the press about the winter transfer market, but I have signed a deal with Boro and my dream is to play and help the team."
