SPURS defender Paul Stalteri has hinted that he would love his loan deal with Fulham to become permanent.

The 30-year-old Canada captain, who moved to Craven Cottage in January until the end of the season has struggled to hold down a regular place at White Hart Lane since joining from Werder Bremen in 2005.

And full-back Stalteri is now keen to make his move across London a permanent one.

He told Fulham's official website: "I still have another year on my contract at Spurs after this, but for me and the rest of the squad, the main goal is to ensure that we keep this side in the Premier League, the rest can wait for now. Of course, it would be nice to make the move permanent but we just have to focus on the team's survival, the rest takes a back seat for now."
