Diego: 'I want to play in the Premier League'

Wolfsburg playmaker Diego has revealed he is in talks over a 'dream' move to the Premier League.

The 26-year-old is one of Liverpool's top summer targets and, while he stopped short of confirming the Reds were in for him, the Brazilian admitted he is closing in on a switch to England.

Diego, who has been told he can leave Wolfsburg after falling out with coach Felix Magath, has also been linked with Tottenham and Arsenal in recent weeks.

"I think Felix Magath and myself share very different ideas from each other," he said. "Of course I respect him because he is the boss but it has been difficult for us to work together. We have sat down and talked and we both think it's best if I move on.

"I prefer not to mention the names of clubs out of respect for the managers and the owners but it's true that there is contact with some clubs in England. Of course I will give these offers special attention because it's my dream to play in the Premier League. I hope they can find a solution.

"At this moment England is where I want to play. We are just starting to have conversations with clubs so it's too early to say where I will be going, but it would be perfect if in the future I can play in the Premier League."
