Anton to stay at the Stadium of Light.

Black Cats defender Anton Ferdinand has said he is enjoying life at Sunderland and a move to Fulham is out of question.

The 24-year-old has recently been linked with a switch to London Club, was thought to be a replacement for Norwegian Brede Hangeland, if Fulham failed to keep hold of his services.

But English player has dismissed the rumours and remains adamant that he is enjoying his time at the Stadium of Light.

“I’m not sure about interest from other clubs, but that is the last thing on my mind,” he said. “I signed for Sunderland on a four-year deal and it wouldn’t be fair to stay one year and then leave.

“I’m enjoying it up there – I look forward to working with Steve Bruce and the players I had round me last year.

“We had a good team spirit. It will be sad to see people leave if that happens, but if the manager brings in better players then I am not going to complain.

“Football is about bettering yourself and playing with the best players.”
