Loanee DaMarcus Beasley has already targeted a permanent switch to Manchester City, despite having yet to make a start for the Citizens.

The 24-year-old USA forward has joined City on a season-long loan from Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven, but has been sidelined by a hamstring injury for much of the time since moving to England.

However, Beasley is already enjoying life in the Premiership.

He said: "I'm here for this season to start with but I'd like to stay far longer.

"I've only been at City for a couple of weeks but, so far, everything has been great.

"Everyone gets along and, ideally, I'd like to be here for at least three or four years.

"I didn't see eye-to-eye with (PSV coach) Ronald Koeman on certain things and I wasn't guaranteed a place in his starting line-up either, so I decided it was time to look for another club."
