His performances have reportedly attracted interest from the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal but has so far remained loyal to his mentor Simeone.
"It's hard for me to talk about transfers because the next minute it will be like 'Thomas is trying to leave' but for me playing football is what makes me happy," he explained.
"I keep saying I am lucky to be at this level now because I know people who play harder and worker harder than me but are nowhere close to being here.
"I don't know what the future holds for me but as long as I play and they are happy with me here then there is no need flirting with others.
"So the only thing that would make me unhappy will be not playing. I think most footballers can understand that not playing is the greatest torture any professional footballer can go through."
Thomas also paid tribute to his upbringing in Ghana.
"I will tell you, it's not about me feeling comfortable at Atletico it's just the values instilled in me by my parents," he continued.
"The club has been like a second home to me and everything I am now it's partly because they took a chance on me.
"Don't get me wrong I have had to earn it but there are a lot people on the streets of Accra working hard every day hoping for a club to take a chance on them like they did here for me so I will never be ungrateful and force a move just because of money or fame.
"I know how our work is, today you are here and tomorrow you are gone but I feel naturally when it's time to move I wouldn't have to force it because it will be so clear that my time here is up."
