Fulham midfielder Giorgios Karagounis is set for contract talks to stay at Fulham beyond the end of the season.
The Greece midfielder, 36 next month, signed as a free agent earlier this campaign but has impressed boss Martin Jol.
Jol said: 'Giorgios loves to play here. And if we feel the moment is right we will sit down with him and offer him a new contract.
'He's not the youngest. But every time we get other players in, you miss him.
'Last week I didn't play him because I was annoyed because he was playing for the Greece national team, he played 70 minutes and that is not what you want, so I played Emmanuel Frimpong.'
Karagounis played a key role in the victory over Stoke even if Dimitar Berbatov's spectacular strike earned the points before Mark Schwarzer saved Jon Walters' penalty.
