Hangeland happy at Cottage

Brede Hangeland has rejected claims he has turned down a new deal at Fulham and insists he is happy at the club. The giant defender has been integral to Fulham's fortunes this season and has been linked with moves away from Craven Cottage. "I've never made any comments about the negotiations - and I never will," Hangeland told Fulham's official website "So if you read something about me having said something - it's not true." The Norway captain has reiterated he is happy at Craven Cottage as the club look to push on for a European place. "I've said all along I'm happy at Fulham - and I believe we can reach an agreement. "They've said they're happy with what I've done - and I'm happy with the club. "There's no reason to think otherwise that I'll be leaving." Fulham face Chelsea this weekend at Stamford Bride, with Hangeland confident his side can upset their more glamorous West London counterparts. "Normally, you would say you're in for a particularly difficult game when you go to Chelsea. "But considering our recent form I think we can go there and get something." Hangeland is not getting too carried away with the Cottagers' seventh place position at the moment and insists the team are taking the end of the season one game at a time. "We still have a lot to play for. Although at the beginning of the season we were hoping to avoid having to play for anything at this time of year, because it might have been another relegation battle. "But now we have a great chance of Europe. How many points do we need to get there? Who knows? "One of the reasons we've got this high is not looking very far forward."
