Khedira Talks Impending Premier League Move

Khedira has been linked with moves to Everton and Tottenham Hotspurs, where two of his former managers, Carlo Ancelotti and Jose Mourinho respectively are currently employed.

The 33-year-old Germany international, who has just six months left on his contract in Turin, has fallen out of favour under Andrea Pirlo and is yet to make an appearance this season.

"It's unusual for me, and I'm not satisfied. I'm a competitive guy, I want to play. But in the meantime, I've adjusted to the situation and try to make the most of it," Khedira told The Athletic.

"I'm part of matchday preparation and video analysis. My influence is still there. I see myself as a bit of a mentor for the younger players.

"I'm keeping my energy levels and motivation high. But at the end of the day, I want to be on the pitch and fight for points. That's why I'm trying to change the situation or leave Turin to do what I enjoy most: playing football.

"The Premier League is still missing in my collection, to play there would be the icing on the cake.

"There are fewer breaks in the game and many counter-attacks, but this is what I like. I've done extra sessions with fitness coaches to get myself ready for the pace and intensity in the Premier League.

"My gut instinct and passion tell me I need to play football, if possible in the Premier League. I'm working towards that."

Khedira joined Juventus on a free transfer from Real Madrid in the summer of 2015 and he has won five Serie A titles with the Old Lady.
