Faye targets new Potters deal
Stoke defender Abdoulaye Faye is determined to earn a new contract with the club which could see him end his career at the Britannia Stadium.[LNB] The 32-year-old's current deal expires next summer but he wants to extend his stay and hopes his performances this season will be enough to persuade manager Tony Pulis to do so.[LNB]"This is the last season of my contract, but I would prefer to stay here," he said. "I am happy here, the fans like me and I have everything here.[LNB]"Maybe I have three years left before I finish football, but I am happy here, so why go somewhere else?"[LNB]Faye has been a key figure in keeping Stoke in the top flight for the last two years, having joined just prior to their maiden Premier League campaign.[LNB]He has enjoyed the experienced immensely and believes the team is probably the strongest it has been since coming up from the Championship.[LNB]"When I first came to Stoke some people said the club was going straight back down, but I said I wanted to come here and I wanted the challenge," he told The Sentinel. But we stayed up then and in the second season as well. Now this year we have a strong team and more good players.[LNB]"Everyone works hard together and enjoys the game. The team spirit is as good as it was."
