Chelsea fullback Ryan Bertrand has declared he wants to stay with Southampton.
Bertrand is open to making this seventh loan away from Chelsea permanent.
"It is one of them things where I've got to wait and see, but, for me, there's no reason why not, to be honest," the full-back said.
"There is a good base to the club, we're pulling in the right direction. We have fantastic fans, fantastic players, a fantastic manager and the coaching staff.
"It has been a good experience for me so far so I don't see why not.
"For me, it is a first in many aspects, especially with the consistency of football I'm getting.
"I am pleased with the way it has started but you know there is a lot more work to be done.
"As a team we're only going to get better, individually I am only going to improve."
