Oussama Assaidi has hinted that he would like to remain at Stoke City when his loan spell finishes at the end of the season.

The 25-year-old winger moved to the Britannia Stadium from Liverpool during the summer after failing to secure regular first-team football at Anfield.

Assaidi has said that while he is enjoying his stint at Stoke, he does not know if he has a future under Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.

"I don't know what is going to happen with me," Soccerway quotes Assaidi as saying. "Sometimes Brendan Rodgers texts me, but I don't know.

"I am very happy here, because Mark Hughes has made me better, giving me a lot of confidence and letting me do my job the way I want to. Everyone at the club seems to like me. We will see at the end of the year what happens.

"He texts me sometimes if I score, saying 'well done', 'keep going' and 'I am hearing good things about you'. But I love to play here for Stoke because they have given me a chance."

Assaidi has scored four goals in 15 appearances for Stoke.
