Defender Brede Hangeland has rejected claims he has turned down a new deal at Fulham and insists he is happy at Craven Cottage. The giant defender has been integral to Fulham's fortunes this season and has been linked to moves away from west London. "Ive 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 Cottagers 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 Bridge, with Hangeland confident his side can upset their more glamorous 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."H angeland is not getting too carried away with the Cottagers' seventh-placed 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," he added. "But now we have a great chance of Europe. How many points do we need to get there? Who knows? "One of the reason's we've got this high is not looking very far forward."
