Fulham manager Martin Jol has suggested that the club could extend the stay of Pavel Pogrebnyak.

The striker, who is on loan from Stuttgart until the end of the season, scored a hat-trick in Sunday's 5-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Russian has now netted five times in three games for the Cottagers.

"We're talking to four or five players about new deals," said Jol.

"You want to keep your best players and I think [Pogrebnyak] is certainly one of them.

"I never worry about these things. I am only happy that we made the right decision to sign him because you never know."

The win has lifted Jol's side up to eighth in the Premier League table.
