Sidwell ‘wants to stay at Fulham’

Steve Sidwell wants to stay at Fulham despite rejecting the club’s initial contract offer, his agent has insisted.

Sidwell. whose current deal expires at the end of the season, was recently offered a 12-month extension.

His representative, Eric Walters, confirmed that the proposal was turned down and that the 30-year-old wants a two-year contract.

Whites boss Martin Jol is keen for him to stay and has indicated that an agreement looks likely to be reached.

And Walters told West London Sport: “Steve wants to stay at Fulham – he hasn’t got it in his mind to go elsewhere.

“The club recently made an offer of a one-year contract extension but in mine and Steve’s opinion he is worth at least two years.

“He is in his prime physically, he’s always likely to nick you a goal or two and he does his talking on the pitch.

“Anyone that has been watching Fulham play this season I’m sure will agree that Steve has been among their most consistent performers.

“We’ll wait and see what transpires over the next few months before we make any firm decisions regarding his future.”
