Kevin McDonald: I'll stay if deal is right

The midfielder spoke out earlier this week suggesting his future was in the balance, amid interest from Wolves' Championship rivals Fulham.

But the 26-year-old wants his future sorted in the next couple of weeks – and sees that future at Wolves.

McDonald has 12 months remaining on his current deal.

He told the Express & Star: "Hopefully talks start soon and I'll get something sorted here and then we can relax and move on.

"My agent will be speaking to Wolves to hopefully come to some sort of agreement, put a contract on the table and if it's right then I'll sign it, 100 per cent. I don't want to leave or anything like that.

"There's not been loads of talks but with Fulham bidding I wanted to get my future sorted, it's as simple as that."

Head coach Kenny Jackett this week reiterated his desire to keep McDonald at Wolves, with the club having rejected two bids from Fulham.

And the Scot said he was not trying to 'rinse the club of money', after he rejected an initial Wolves contract offer.

"I just want a decent contract," he added. "I didn't want to go into the last year of my contract, I wanted to get something sorted for a bit of security.

"That will only bring the best out of me, I can play with freedom and relax knowing my contract's sorted. It's always in the back of your mind.

"I'm at a really good age now and my best years are still to come. I hope that's at this club. I've told the manager I want to be here, that's how it is.

"I just need to look after my future. First and foremost I want to be here and if we can come to an agreement I'll be delighted."
