The 26-year-old has been looked at by West Brom this month, with Alan Pardew keen on bolstering his attacking ranks this January.

However, the midfielder has talked down a move away from Fulham this month.

"I had it last summer [transfer speculation]." he told FulhamFCTV.

"I signed a contract extension in the summer and I can't do much more than that to commit my future to the club.

"I'm happy here, I love it here, and I want to stay here."

The midfielder bagged 12 Championship goals last season, and would be expected to fetch a £12m price tag should he depart this month, although West Brom need to sell players before they can splash any cash this window.

They are able to bring in one or two modest loan signings without offloading a player, but a permanent deal needs to be funded with sales.
