On-loan striker Jo Kuffour has revealed he wants to sign for Gillingham in January.

The Bristol Rovers forward has scored five goals in eight appearances since starting a three-month loan spell at Priestfield in October.

If the goals continue to fly in for the 29-year-old, then interest will no doubt come from other clubs but Kuffour wants to stay with the Gills.

He said: "Gillingham is my No.1 choice. Hopefully we can sort something out before my loan deal ends but it’s up to the chairmen of Gillingham and Bristol Rovers.

"The fans have been great from when I first walked into Gillingham so I’m happy that I’ve managed to repay them with goals.

"I’m happy here. It’s nice to be back home (in London) and playing for a team that appreciates me."

Do you think Gillingham should sign Kuffour on a permanent deal? Have your say below.
