Neymar Discloses Premier League Desire

By Joshua Walters

The world's most expensive footballer, Neymar, has hinted of his desire to play in the English Premier League in the not too distant future.

The 26-year-old Brazilian has been in the news recently over a proposed return to Barcelona, while Real Madrid have also reportedly earmarked him as a marquee signing to replace the departed Cristiano Ronaldo.

Neymar, who has scored 11 goals in 12 Ligue 1 appearances this season, however, believes a move to England could be on the cards. "It's a big competition. One of the greatest in the world," Neymar replied in a video posted on YouTube after being asked by Manchester City full-back, Benjamin Mendy, if he would ever play in the Premier League. 

"We don't know how tomorrow will be, but I believe that every great player, at least, one day, has to play in the Premier League."

"If you're playing there, then I hope you can keep enjoying the Premier League because you deserve only the best. Hugs and thanks!"
