Andrea Ranocchia has declared he wants to stay with Hull City.
The defender is on-loan to the end of the season from Inter Milan.
"It's been amazing, if I had known how good it would be, I would not have waited 29 years to come and play in England," he told Hull's official website.
"The stadiums are fantastic, the fans are fantastic, the plans are fantastic.
"I hope to be here next year too."
