Uwe Rosler wants George Saville stay

Brentford manager Uwe Rosler has conceded that he would like to retain the services of Chelsea midfielder George Saville.

The 20-year-old joined the League One outfit on a six-month loan deal during the summer and has since made 17 appearances.

He has done enough in those outings to make an impression on Rosler, who would like to see him extend his stay at Griffin Park.

"George Saville has fulfilled our expectations," he told the Fulham Chronicle. "He is a great player and can be even better.

"There's great potential in him. He's hungry and he likes it here. We'll try to do something in January and maybe in the summer as well,"

Saville signed for Chelsea as a trainee from Reading in 2004.
