Stoke City midfielder Maurice Edu hopes to sign permanently for Bursaspor.

The USA international moved to Turkey on-loan in January.

"I'm very happy here and have settled in," he said. "Bursaspor are a great club, we're doing well in the league and on course for qualification into Europe.

"If Fenerbahçe slip up we could even make it into second place. Football is a funny game, anything can happen and we are going to make sure we push on to the end.

"The remaining games are very important, we have got to this stage through determination, drive and our fighting spirit.

"Bursaspor is headed in the right direction as a club and deserves to be among the best in league."
