Stoke City's Amdy Faye is keen to win a long-term deal with the club after initially signing a 12-month contract.

Faye played in the Championship with Charlton Athletic last season after previously being at Portsmouth and Newcastle and is happy that Stoke had given him another opportunity in the top flight.

"I am really enjoying my time at Stoke and I am happy hat they have given me my chance in the Premier League again," Faye said.

"I did well at Portsmouth and Newcastle, but things did not work out for me at Charlton and I can understand why I did not feature very often for Rangers during my spell there.

"But I believe I am back to my best and that is showing in my recent performances.

"I am out of contract in the summer and I am keen to sort out my long-term future.

"I have been made feel very welcome at Stoke and I am determined to help them fight to stay in the Premier League."
