The 29 year old wants to stay at Craven Cottage despite being at loggerheads with the club regarding a new contract.

He told The Guardian: "They are not willing to give me a longer contract yet so I've got no option but to get my head down and play for Fulham.

"Let's get one thing straight - I have always wanted to sign for Fulham and I still have two years here anyway.

"There will hopefully come a time when we can sort something out about extending it."
