West Ham United's on-loan defender Pablo Armero has revealed that he'd like to secure a permanent contract with the Club.
The 27-year-old Colombian is on loan with the Hammers for the remainder of the current season, having agreed a move to London on transfer deadline day (January 31).And in an interview with the Newham Recorder, Armero - whose parent club are Serie A side Napoli - admitted that he'd love to extend his stay in the UK.
"It is a new experience for me, but it is very good. I like it," he said. "It is very fast and exciting and I like how the crowd enjoy the games.
"I would like to have a good end [to the season] so in the future have a new contract with the team."
Armero, who is hoping to be part of the Colombian World Cup squad this summer played all of last weekend's 2-1 home defeat against Liverpool due to George McCartney's absence through injury.
It was his third appearance in claret and blue since movcing from Italy, but also his first start for the club.
"It has been a while without playing," he said. "It has been very important for me to play. I thank God, my colleagues and the technical team who gave me the opportunity.
"I think I fulfilled what I wanted to do against Liverpool. They are a great team and I think they did things right. I hope I can carry on enjoying the opportunities."
