Cottagers were keen on Clingan
Sammy Clingan claims Fulham tried to wrestle him away from Norwich during the January transfer window.[LNB] The midfielder has been in fine form for the Canaries this season, with his versatility making him a vital member of the Carrow Road squad.[LNB]He has made no secret of his desire to try his luck in the Premier League, but insists he has never attempted to manufacture a move.[LNB]Despite the mounting interest in his services, the Northern Ireland international claims helping Norwich into the top-flight and helping to repay the obvious faith his current employers have in his ability remains his priority.[LNB]"I take it as a huge compliment that Norwich want to keep me and I respect the decision to turn Fulham down," Clingan told the Belfast Telegraph. [LNB]"It's my dream to play in the Premier League and I really want to achieve that ambition. [LNB]"But if Norwich aren't happy to sell then they were quite entitled to say 'no' to Fulham. [LNB]"I'm really enjoying myself at Norwich and even though the results haven't being going well this season I firmly believe that our fortunes will turn around next season. [LNB]"We aren't going to be able to challenge for the play-offs this season but I don't see why, with the injection of a few new faces in the summer, we can't be challenging in 12 months time. [LNB]"I'd love to go up with Norwich - that would be fantastic because I really do feel at home at this club. [LNB]"If that's not to be then hopefully it will happen with another club."[LNB]
