Plenty in the tank, says Frank

Frank Nouble is set to extend his loan spell with League Two club Gillingham.

The young striker, who was 20 in August has impressed during his first two months at the Priestfield Stadium during which he notched five goals from 11 appearances.

And now it looks as if the former Chelsea youngster will sign up for another month with the Gills, who are currently on the cusp of the play-off spots having won four of their last six games and have expressed a desire to extend the player's stay.

"I have never been on loan anywhere longer than a month and I have been here longer than I expected," Nouble told Gillignahm's website. "I would rather be playing under pressure than in the reserves.

"It’s a man’s game here and reserve team football is not the same as first- team football. At West Ham I would be coming on in the last 10 minutes and you don’t really get a run; it’s hard. I think I have learned a few basics here and that will do me well in the future.

"I am just happy that Gillingham want to keep me on for another month and I will take it from there. I want to sign and hopefully it will be sorted."
