On-loan midfielder aware of fan backing at Hoffenheim
Gylfi Sigurdsson has reiterated his desire to stay at Swansea but accepts that Hoffenheim will decide on his future.
The Iceland international was loaned out by the Bundesliga club at the start of the season but has been so impressive for the Swans that he is wanted back in Germany for next season.
Swansea are reported to have had an offer of around £5million rejected by Hoffenheim, although it is thought they would be prepared to do a deal for around £7million.
Having enjoyed his time at the Liberty Stadium and spent time with Reading earlier in his career, Sigurdsson is eager to remain in English football beyond the summer.
Asked about Hoffenheim, Sigurdsson said in the
Daily Mail: "I'm their employee.
"All I can say is what I have said. I want to stay in the Premier League. I have always wanted to play in this league from when I young.
Difficult
"I would love to stay at Swansea.
"It will all be sorted one way or the other in the summer."
Sigurdsson became frustrated with his lack of playing time at Hoffenheim and would be reluctant to return if he thought he was not going to get regular action under new manager Markus Babbel, although the supporters have recently started singing his name at matches.
"I heard from one of the boys the other day about the fans," he said.
"It's difficult to say if I miss the club. I have friends there but I wasn't playing, was hardly ever really happy.
"I just want to play football, but I was training, sitting on the bench, training again. Every week."
