Everton striker James Vaughan is keen to remain at Crystal Palace for the full season.

The 22-year old is currently on a three-month loan with the Eagles but after netting a hat-trick against Portsmouth on Tuesday night, is hoping he can stay put at Selhurst Parkn and continue his development.

"I definitely want to stay, it is a great club and I am enjoying it, so I don't see why not. I am here to enjoy myself and do my best for myself and for Palace," he said.

"Whether Palace want to keep me and Everton want to let me stay is out of my hands. I have to just keep enjoying my football and see where it takes me.

"I was definitely pushing to come here and play some games and I think I got my wish and at the moment it is paying off. Now I just want to push on and get some games under my belt."
