Hearts midfielder Arnaud Djoum has signed a new three-year contract.
The 27-year-old committed his future to the club after speaking with head coach Robbie Neilson, but revealed a move to England remains his long-term objective.
"It was an easy choice to sign again because I have good feeling about this club," said the former Roda JC star. "I think it has a good future and I get confidence from everybody here. It feels like home.
"The manager was also a big part of my decision. He has given me a lot of confidence on the pitch and I'm grateful.
"But (England) is always something I'm thinking about. Even though I've signed the new deal it is always a possibility to go there. I just have to work hard and maybe if I stay one more season I can move on.
"In the second year at a club it is always important to improve, to show people that your first season was not down to luck. I want to improve again this year and see what happens.
"I still have this ambition to go to a higher level. I preferred to sign a new deal here and be comfortable so I don't have to think too much about transfers. What happens next I don't know but I've always dreamed of playing in England so hopefully next year I can achieve that."
