Marseille's West Brom loanee Amalfitano keen to remain in England

The agent of Morgan Amalfitano says his client is eager to remain in the English Premier League.

The 29-year old French midfielder is on a season-long loan at West Bromwich Albion from Marseille but is looking to get a permanent move to England.

Amalfitano's representative Willie McKay told Sky Sports that the former Sedan and Lorient man may look to move on from Marseille in the summer and although a Premier League stay is a priority, staying put at The Hawthorns is not.

"Marseille are keen to have Morgan back in their team next season as they have been keeping tabs on his performances for West Brom," McKay said.

"West Brom would like to sign him, but they have missed the cut-off point in the loan deal to make it permanent as they were unable to commit to a deal due to the uncertainty over their Premier League status.

"I know a lot of other Premier League clubs are interested in Morgan and are monitoring developments.

"Morgan has really enjoyed this season at West Brom and he would love to stay in the Premier League."

Amalfitano has made 24 league appearances for the Baggies this season, scoring four goals and providing three assists.
