Davis to stay at Fulham

Career statistics: Sean Davis

Fulham midfielder Sean Davis has withdrawn his transfer request.

Davis was set for a £5.5m move to Everton during the summer but the move fell through because he could not complete his medical.

He was injured in a pre-season friendly and damaged medial ligament's in his right knee which prevented the switch going through.

As a result, there were question marks over his future with the Cottagers after he made his feelings clear that he wanted to leave for Goodison Park.

But the 23-year-old is now set to negotiate a new contract with the high-flying west London side who are sixth in the Premiership.

I felt I needed to move or be part of another club to realise my ambitions as a player - I now think that I can realise those same ambitions here at Fulham Sean Davis

"I have spoken at length with Sean and I am convinced that he will give me and the squad 100% commitment," Fulham boss Chris Coleman told the club's website.

"He is eager to sign an extension on his contract with us to prove his loyalty to the Club and to the fans.

"I am now looking forward to seeing a continuation of the hard work and dedication from the player which, knowing Sean, I am sure I will get."

Davis has been at Fulham since the age of 16 but not played for them this season because of his injury.

He said: "During the time I have been recovering from my injury I have had the opportunity to discuss my future with the manager.

"He has made it clear to me that not only does he see me as an important part of his plans but I also believe the club can move forward.

Davis added: "I think that because I had been here for a long time, I felt I needed to move or be part of another club to realise my ambitions as a player.

"I now think that I can realise those same ambitions here at Fulham."
