Andy Johnson is hopeful of concluding negotiations with Fulham over a new contract in the near future.
The 30 year-old striker, whose current contract expires in the summer, has been in discussions with the club over a new deal for the best part of six months now. Fulham are believed to have acquiesced to his demand for a two-year contract and the final stumbling block was thought to be wages.
Johnson, who returned for the 1-0 win over QPR at the weekend after missing three matches with a groin problem, told the Guardian that he wanted to remain at Fulham:
There are on-going negotiations. Hopefully, we will try to tie that up in the coming weeks. Of course I would like to stay. If we can get something done that would be great.
Good! At times I think I’ve been the only person who’s constantly liked him in the team. I think more often than not the team play much better with his runs and distractions up front and I hope Pogs will form agood old fashioned striking partnership with him. Also, when Fulham were in Australia a couple of years ago he took plenty of time out to chat to fans, have pictures taken, do autographs etc. Interraction s a great thing for a player to do – just look at Pog’s celebration on Sat’day.
