Valencia striker Nikola Zigic has revealed that he intends to stay at the club for the foreseeable future but admitted that if a suitable deal is presented to him he would be willing to move.

The 29-year-old Serbian is keen to play more frequently, especially with the World Cup on the horizon but he is aware that his prospects of regular first team football with Los Che are limited, given the prowess of the leagues leading marksman David Villa.

"I want to stay, but it is clear that if an offer comes that the club and me like, we can reach an agreement. Why not? The most important thing is to play. Now comes the World Cup and everything ... I know it's not easy playing here. We only play with one striker and it is hard to play ahead of El Guaje [David Villa]," he told Super Deporte before suggesting Unai Emery's men can capture the Primera Liga title.

"I have two and a half years left on my contract. My first choice is to stay here and win titles with Valencia. I won the Copa [del Rey], but we can do something big in Europe and why not the league?"
