Leeds United forward Luciano Becchio wants to sign a new contract with the Championship club.
The 26-year-old has become a popular figure with supporters at Elland Road and has been in fine form for the club so far this season, netting his first ever hat-trick against Bristol City at the weekend.
Becchio has been linked with Championship rivals Hull City and Premier League outfit Stoke in recent months, but the Argentinian is keen to stay where he is and help Leeds return to the top flight.
He said: “I want to stay here. I want to live here. My agent has spoken with Leeds and I am ready to sign a new contract.
“Of course I see Leeds going into the Premier League and I want to be part of that. I would like to play with Leeds against Carlos Tevez.
“Tevez was my friend when we were young together with Boca. He is a great player and he is going well for Manchester City.”
