Paul Hart hopes to persuade loanee Jamie O'Hara to extend his stay with Portsmouth.
The 23-year-old, who is currently on loan at Fratton Park from Tottenham Hotspur, is currently scheduled to return to the capital in January.
The Pompey boss would like to make the arrangement permanent, saying: "Jamie, like most of the players we signed in August, has fitted in brilliantly.
"I think he enjoys it here and I think he'd like to stay.
"Him saying he doesn't want to walk away sums up his attitude, but every player we've got is determined to get this right in very difficult circumstances.
"That is the sort of attitude we need. I've gone on record saying we'd like to keep him and that hasn't changed and Jamie has said he'd like to stay."
Meanwhile, Pompey chairman Sulaiman Al Fahim has said he expects the club's transfer embargo to be lifted this week.
