Blues keeper Bartosz Bialkowski says he’d be happy to join his loan club Millwall on a permanent basis.
As things stand, Bialkowski, 32, is due to remain with the Lions until the end of the season but Town manager Paul Lambert revealed last week that the two clubs were discussing a permanent switch, a development the Polish international, who has quickly become a fans' favourite at Millwall, says he would favour.
"Absolutely, yeah. I’ve said I’m enjoying it and when you’re enjoying something it’s so much easier to make a decision,” he told NewsatDen when asked if he'd like a full-time switch.
"Obviously it’s not down to me. There are three parties involved in the situation. For me, I can say I would be very happy if I signed here on a permanent deal.”
Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers were also keen on signing Bialkowski on a permanent basis during this window but under the loan deal agreed in the summer the Blues had only a limited period in which they could recall the Polish international in January in order to sell him elsewhere with the cut-off date having passed last week.
Bialkowski, who is on Town’s most lucrative current contract which runs until the summer of 2021 with the club having an option for a further season, joined Millwall on loan in July after a permanent £900,000 move broke down the previous month due to concerns regarding his knee which emerged in a medical.
