May eager to commit to St Johnstone

Stevie May has made it clear that he is determined to remain with St Johnstone.

The 21-year old striker is attracting plenty of interest from clubs in the UK following a prolific season for the Saints in the Scottish Premiership.

May, who has netted 20 goals for the Perth club this term, is contracted until next summer but says he has no intentions of leaving McDiarmid Park anytime soon.

"We've been speaking to the club and I want to stay here, I'm happy here. There's no reason to want to leave," May told the Daily Record as he continues to prepare for this weekend's Scottish Cup final against Dundee United.

"I'm still developing and can feel myself improving all the time and this is the best place to do that.

"We've not spoken about figures yet but that will happen after the final. We don't want any distractions.

"If someone wants to buy me then they'll do that regardless of my contract so that's my take on it.

"This season has been better than anything I could have imagined. If you'd told me at the start I would score 27 goals (in all competitions) and get to the Scottish Cup final, I'd have been delighted. It's beyond anything I hoped for."
