Due to injury, Fabregas has not played for Chelsea on their winning run and faces a battle to regain his place.
West Ham have been linked with a move in January for the 29-year-old but according to ESPN, the player is determined to remain at Chelsea until the end of the season.
The report claims several Chinese clubs were looking to make Fabregas the latest high profile arrival but he was not interested.
Fabregas is one of a few Chelsea players whose futures are in doubt.
