I want Rad to stay longer
Dennis Wise will ask Charlton manager Alan Pardew to extend Radostin Kishishev's stay at Leeds United before the midfielder's loan expires next month.
Kishishev agreed a month-long move to Leeds last week and made his debut against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, completing 83 minutes of the 3-2 defeat at Elland Road.
The league start was his first since December after a season in which the Bulgarian international has been largely sidelined at The Valley, and he is likely to be given the chance to commit himself to Leeds for the rest of the Championship term when his initial loan ends at the start of April.
An option to extend the deal has already been agreed between the two clubs, according to Charlton.
Wise said: "He's a very good player. We've got him for a month and we'd like to keep him longer.
Balance
"That will be down to Alan Pardew and Kish. He's got loads of ability and it's unfortunate that I couldn't get him before."
Kishishev is available to Wise until after United's game against Preston at Elland Road on March 30, but the club's league status is still expected to be in the balance ahead of their final six league games during April and May.
Wise's squad has been ravaged by injury since the turn of the year, and Kishishev's arrival last week was timely following the revelation that former club captain Kevin Nicholls had asked to quit United for his former club Luton.
Pardew is unlikely to oppose an extension to Kishishev's deal with Leeds unless injury problem affect his Addicks squad.
The 32-year-old midfielder, meanwhile, will soon be forced to consider his long-term future with his contract with Charlton nearing its end.
Kishishev agreed a three-year deal with the London club in June 2004, but has made only 14 Premiership appearances this season.
