Middlesbrough star Tuncay Sanli says he would never return to Turkey to play for any other club than Fenerbahce.

The Turkish international swapped the Istanbul giants for Boro in the summer and he has performed well during his maiden campaign in the Premier League.

Recent reports have speculated on a possible return to Turkey with Galatasaray linked, as well as Fener.

But Tuncay insists he is more than happy with Middlesbrough, although he does admit that he will return to Fenerbahce at some point in his career.

"One day I will play in Turkey and Fenerbahce is the only club I want to play for in Turkey," he said.

Tuncay was talking after visiting the Fener squad in London before their UEFA Champions League quarter-final defeat to Chelsea on Tuesday.

"I was very happy to be here with my friends. I have missed them. I can talk with them on the phone but I could not see them so much," he told Fener's website.

"I like my England life. I'm very comfortable.

"Everyone keeps asking me whether I miss Turkey or not. Of course I love seeing the guys, but my family came to live with me so I'm happy in England.

"I want to keep playing here for as long as possible."

Him and Alves are going to be an important part of our squad next season. both seem to be just settling into english football nicely.
