Roy Hodgson has revealed Fulham Football Club plan to keep Nicky Shorey.

The England international fullback is on loan at Craven Cottage from Aston Villa for the rest of the season, but a permanent deal is already in the pipeline.

“A price has been put on Nicky's head if, at the end of the loan period, he wants to stay and we certainly want to keep him," said Hodgson.

"He's a player we considered many times. When he was at Reading we were interested, but the price and wages he could command took him out of our reach and he went to Aston Villa."
