Sun Jihai looks to extend Manchester City contract

China international Sun Jihai is determined to win a new contract with
the Premiership side Manchester City.
Sun's current deal runs out next summer, but the versatile 28-year-old
would like to extend his stay before eventually returning to his homeland.
He said: "I have been here nearly four years now and a work permit is no
problem for me. The only problem I have is that I want to play games. I
want to stay at City and I want to stay in the Premier League.
"I am 28-years-old now and hopefully I can stay three or four years more
and then I definitely plan to finish my football career back in China."
Sun stepped into a central midfield role against Blackburn because of the
absence of Joey Barton and Claudio Reyna, and he put in a decent
performance.
He added on the club's website: "I would love to remain with City longer
if I can. I like the club a lot, my wife and children are settled here. I
know Manchester very well now and I have some good friends around me.
"Hopefully I will be able to stay but to do that I know I have to play
well when I get the chance and train hard. After that we will just have
to see what happens. Hopefully something will happen in the New Year."
Sun can shine in City midfield
Manchester City utility star Sun Jihai feels he's adapted well to the
demands of being City's man in the middle.
