Jonas Olsson: I'd love to stay at Albion – if I'm wanted

Jonas Olsson wants his future to be at Albion and will stay at the club – if they want him to.

The Swedish centre-back's contract is up at the end of this season, but after eight years with the Baggies, Olsson is happy in the Black Country

Although he turns 33 in March, the long-haired defender is enjoying a spell in the first team, and he feels better than he has done at any other point in the past 18 months.

"I think I'm having a good season, I'm starting regularly," he said.

"I really like it here so if the club wants to, and if they show it, I'll be happy to keep my future here for some while."

He's in the first stages of talks with the club about a new deal, but won't be near the top of the agenda until the transfer window shuts.

"We've been talking a little bit but nothing concrete which is natural when you have a contract expiring in six months," said Olsson.

"We'll see, I think when the window is open there's always focus on other things."

Olsson has featured in 10 out of the last 11 Premier League games, and his commitment both on and off the pitch has impressed boss Tony Pulis.

"I'm happy, I'm playing good football," he said.

"When your contract is about to expire it's a very important season so I'm happy things are going well for me."

Olsson wants to keep playing at the top level for as long as possible, and he showcased that desire by playing through a hamstring niggle on Saturday

"I've had that for a while," he said. "I was just cramping up a little bit, I was tired second half.

"That's the thing with the Christmas period.

"It's not a big thing, but last few weeks I've been struggling a little bit with it.

"You're used to Saturday games and if you throw in one or two midweek games and it really makes a difference. But I feel good now, trained this week. I'm good to go Saturday."
