E. Elia: I Want to Stay "Southampton"

„Southampton“ attacker Eljero Elia, currently on loan from Bremen's „Werder“, says he wants to stay in England.

The Dutchman joined Koeman's team in January and made a great debut scoring a brace in his second match.

However, since then Elia has failed to shine and has been plagued by a groin injury.

“I really want to stay, so it all depends on the club's decision“, the attacker told Southampton Echo.

„Otherwise, I still have a one-year contract with Bremen's „Werder“. If they don't want me, then I will move elsewhere.“

„I don't know anything about my future. „Southampton“ doesn't talk about it.“

„I only spoke to the coach, he was positive.“

Elia will have the chance to prove his worth in two English league matches against Birmingham's „Aston Villa“ and „Manchester City“, where the team will fight for a place in the UEFA Europa League.
