Keller wants Fulham stay ahead of USA return

Kasey Keller has again declared he wants to stay with Fulham next season - ahead of a return to the USA.

The USA international goalkeeper told fulhamfc.com: "I've let the Club know that I would definitely be willing to sit down and talk about next year, regardless of the situation that we're in, and then once again it will be down to decision-making factors; what's right for myself, what's right for the Club and what's right for my family, and I'll try to figure it all out from there.

"At this stage I have to start thinking a little bit about my family, because I drag them all over the place. My kids are 10-years-old and they've been in four different schools in three different countries. All I can do is make decisions based on what's put in front of me, but those decisions will come in the future."

He added: "I'll definitely be moving back to America, that's something I've always said. I've been so fortunate to play in three of the top leagues in the world, see some different cultures and have those experiences, and also great National team experiences.

"But I'm American, my family's American and I would feel weird being one of the first guys to come to Europe, gain all the experience that I have in the different leagues and not take that home and try to give some of that back.

"We [America] are developing some good players and it's improving all the time. I'm looking forward to being one of the first of the generation to have spent the majority of their career away from America to go back and integrate into the system."
