JERMAINE JENAS is eager to play alongside Dimitar Berbatov next season after describing the Bulgarian as one of the best players he has ever played with.

The England midfielder admits he is uncertain whether the 27-year-old forward would stay or go this summer, as a number of top European clubs queue up for his signature.

But Jenas issued a plea to his teammate to stay at the club and be a part of Juande Ramos' future plans.

"Dimi's a top player and he's proved that for us over the last couple of years," Jenas told The Sun. "If he's got ambitions to be at the club or not then I'm sure we'll see what happens come this summer, but I'm hopeful that he stays.

"He's up there with the best I've played with. I've been fortunate to play with a number of top strikers and Dimi's ability is second to none. He came here as a bit of an unknown to some but he's proved what he's worth."
