That is, IMO, exactly the stance we should be taking.
We can debate if we should try and retain him with a new contract beyond his current deal next year but as he has indicated he wants to stay and there is no suggestion he would give anything but 100% that is what we should do.
He is very underrated (still) and at 28 is hardly past it. In fact as a forward he is in his prime. To sell such a player would be bonkers IMO.
