Torino defender Perr Schuurs has declared he wants to stay with the Granata.

The Holland international is recovering from an ACL injury suffered in October.

He said at a club function: "I'm much better, my knee is better.

"I like Turin a lot, as do its fans who are different from those in Holland, here they are close to us even if things go bad it's worth it.

"They ask me if I will stay at Torino after the end of the season, I really hope so."
