Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari is eager to stay in England long-term.
Muntari is currently on-loan at Sunderland.
He told The Mirror: "I feel welcome here. Everyone has so much passion about football. There is a different passion here. The stadiums are always full and that is what makes the football so great here.
"It is something I really love. Of course, there is passion in Italy but it is a different style of football. Here it is so passionate. The Italians are good people too. I am not against Italian football just so much for English football.
"I do not know whether I will be here next season. I am on loan but I am just concentrating on the rest of this season. I am not thinking about what will happen at the end of the season."
