MATT Targett has revealed that Saints have not been in contact with him since joining Fulham on loan in January.

The 22-year-old from Eastleigh is yet to experience a defeat in 13 games for the Cottagers, who are unbeaten in 16 matches since losing at home to Saints in the FA Cup third round.

Targett has been a big factor in their rise into the Championship’s top two.

Asked if Saints had been in contact in the last few months, he told Get West London: “Believe it or not, I’ve had none.

“They’re in a sticky patch themselves so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens at the end of the season.

“[Staying at Fulham next season] is certainly an option, everyone wants to play Premier League football and if Fulham are in the Premier League then I don’t see why not.

“I’ve enjoyed every minute here at Fulham, we haven’t lost yet while I’ve been here and we have to keep that run going.

“I knew Fulham were a good side, but I didn’t realise just how good they were, it’s been nice playing week-in, week-out so I can’t complain.

"The manager said to me to play my natural game, I like to pass the ball and he likes that style. It was a no-brainer to come here and I’ve fitted in perfectly.”
