Pogrebnyak hopes to sign permanent deal with Fulham

Fulham striker Pavel Pogrebnyak has admitted that he is eager to sign a permanent contract with the Cottagers once his loan stint comes to an end at the close of the season.

The 28-year-old, who moved to Craven Cottage on a temporary deal in January from Stuttgart, has admitted that talks over a contract have been planned.

"That is very nice. I need a coach like [Martin] Jol," said Pogrebnyak. "I would love to stay in England and continue to work with him. A conversation with the club's leadership will be held in the near future."

Jol has been open about his desire to keep hold of the frontman.
