Kim Kallstrom wants to remain at Arsenal when his loan spell with the north London side ends in June.

Kallstrom joined Arsenal from Spartak Moscow on a six months loan deal on the final day of the winter transfer window, however, a back injury he sustained upon arrival at the club prevented him from making his Gunners debut for nearly two months.

The Sweden international however made four appearances during his time at the Emirate and watched the Gunners achieve FA Cup success from the stands.

In an interview with fotbollskanalen.se, the 31-year-old midfielder said he enjoyed his time with the EPL side and he believes he has done enough to convince Arsene Wenger to splash the cash and offer him a permanent deal.

“We talked a lot, but of course it stays between us. They were very happy with my performance and what I was there to do so it felt good.

“We'll see. It was a very good experience, but you've been in this business as long as I have so I think we'll have to see what happens. I have a year left on my contract in Russia, so it is what it is now until something else happens,” Kallstrom said.

“Everyone knows that now is a period in which a lot can happen and the last word has not been spoken yet. I was an Arsenal player until last June. But Spartak's a very nice club and I enjoyed working there so it will be a continuation, which is a very good option too,” he concluded.
