I may be here for keeps - Fulop
Leicester City goalkeeper Marton Fulop has not ruled out making his loan move to the Walkers Stadium permanent.
The giant stopper has made the position his own since moving to City on a season-long loan from Premier League outfit Sunderland in August.
He was at the top of his game again at Burnley on Tuesday night, making a string of saves to help City take a vital Championship point from Turf Moor.
Owen Coyle, the Burnley manager, described Fulop's performance as “inspired” as the keeper's saves denied Robbie Blake and Andy Gray either side of half-time.
It is the type of form that has prompted many fans to urge City to seek his permanent signature with the January transfer window coming up.
Fulop admits he is enjoying his time with City, and would not rule out a lasting move.
“It's up to Leicester and Sunderland and whether they can agree a price,” said the 6ft 6in goalkeeper. “After that, we can talk about it because, like I have said, I am really enjoying my time here.”
The Hungary international goalkeeper has helped City form the meanest defence in the Championship, conceding just 15 goals in 19 games this season.
But at 24, a relatively young age for a goalkeeper, Fulop believes he can only get better. “I was happy with my performance against Burnley,” he said. “But there are still lots of things that I am looking to learn.
“I can never say I had the perfect game. Every game there are things I can look at and think about and learn from.
“It's great to be playing for Leicester and I am really enjoying it. It's a great learning curve for me.”
He has been an ever-present since arriving in time for the trip to Crystal Palace back in August.
And his performances have made him a huge favourite with supporters, with the chant “Fulop's unbeatable” following him around the country.
Fulop said: “I love the fans at Leicester City. They have made me feel really welcome here. I can't thank them enough for the faith that they have in me.”
Promotion-chasing West Bromwich Albion will be cheered on by around 3,000 supporters at the Walkers Stadium on Saturday.
The Baggies sold their initial allocation of 2,300 tickets and have been given a further 900 seats.
