Newcastle winger Fraser hopes for Southampton stay

Newcastle winger Ryan Fraser admits he wants to stay with Southampton.

Fraser is on-loan at Saints from Newcastle.

"The minute Russell (Martin) phoned me, I pushed like everything to get down here," he told the club's YouTube channel. "Not because I'm from down here. Honestly, that was the last thing that was on my mind.

"It was all about playing football and getting promoted again because I knew what it was like to get promoted from Bournemouth. It was an unbelievable feeling.

"I know the club really well from being down here and I know a lot of the lads at Southampton. Stuey Armstrong, Adam [Armstrong], Che [Adams], so I know a lot of people. They said it was unbelievable so I tried to push it as much as I possibly could and finally got it over the line.

"Here's to the future of us getting promoted first and foremost and, then, even if we don't, I want to stay for as long as possible - whatever happens at the end of the season."
