According to reports, Bursaspor are looking to make Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand's loan move permanent.

The Green Crocodiles have a buy-out clause option and the 28-year-old centre-back is open to the prospect of staying in Turkey.

Ferdinand said: "Bursaspor have an option to buy me but if it's decided I'm needed to help QPR get back up then that's what I'll do.

"So they expected a lot and, hopefully, I've been delivering.

"They are football fanatics and want to talk about the game all the time.

"The day after we beat Besiktas 3-0 I went out shopping to buy a blanket and the guy in the shop said 'take it for free'.

"I told him I couldn't do that but he said he would be upset if I refused because we had made him so happy with the win.

"If you're a football fan it is something you have to see.

"Some real quality players are coming over and, of course, the sun shines a lot which is not a bad thing, is it?"

Bursaspor signed QPR defender Anton Ferdinand in on a six-month loan in January with a future buy-out clause option.
