Real Madrid forward Jese has said that he has proven he has what it takes to play on a regular basis for the La Liga giants, but has admitted that leaving the club is a possibility.

The former Spain Under-21 player has spent much of his time on the Real bench this term, and was linked with a move away from the Bernabeu over the summer.

Jese says that he is determined to do everything he can in order to stay with Los Blancos, but may have to look at the situation should things continue as they have in recent months.

"I want to play. I used to get annoyed at not being able to play in the kick-abouts. Now if I get 10 minutes, I give it my all," he told reporters. "Before I used never pay attention to the playing time I was afforded but now it's something I appreciate.

"I've shown that I can make it here, that is what I want. We'll have to see what transpires in the future but I'd like to stay.

"I moved here when I was 13 and have shone at every youth category at Real Madrid. I want to do the same in the first team."

Jese has made 63 appearances for Real, scoring 13 goals and providing nine assists.
