More follows Mr Abdeslam has denied direct involvement in the killing of 130 peopleĀ in the French capital on 13 November last year, insisting he only drove others to the locations of the shootings and provided logistical support.
He was arrested in a police raid on the Belgian suburb of Molenbeek last Friday after a four-month manhunt, shot in the leg as he tried to flee.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday morning, Mr Abdeslam's lawyer Cedric Moisse said he was no longer resisting extradition to French following legal advice, and would rather it happen quickly.
"He wants to cooperate with the French authorities," Mr Moisse said.
Mr Abdeslam crossed back into Belgium the day after the Paris attacks, despite his car being checked by police, and was named Europe's most wanted fugitive.
