Fulham defender Brede Hangeland has confirmed he would be happy to remain at Craven Cottage for 'many years'.

Media reports have speculated that the Norway international's displays this season could spark bids from the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in January.

Cottagers boss Roy Hodgson has been keen to play down the rumours while Hangeland recently stated his commitment to the London side.

The 27-year-old joined Fulham from FC Copenhagen earlier this year and sees the club as the ideal place to ensure his career blossoms.

"It has gone well for me, personally." Hangeland said.

"I am pleased with how I have progressed since I came here. It feels like I am on top of my career right now.

"I see myself at Fulham for many years. The club is the right size and has a perfect location in South West London.

"That allows us to live in a family-friendly and quiet area which is close to both the stadium and training.

"That means a tremendous amount to me."
