Emanuelson keen to stay in England
Urby Emanuelson wants to remain in the Premier League after a successful spell on loan at Fulham.
The midfielder temporarily moved to Craven Cottage in January after finding his first-team opportunities limited at parent club Milan.
Manager Martin Jol is interested in a permanent deal for the Dutchman, but concedes a full transfer may not be possible.
However, Emanuelson enjoyed his spell in England and will look to sort his future during the off-season.
"I think I adapted to the needs of English football well," he said.
