Leicester City target Ibrahim Sangare has admitted it would be a ‘dream’ for him to move to the Premier League, but he is not focusing on a transfer at this moment in time.
The midfielder has been in fine form for the Dutch side this season, with a series of impressive performances in the Eredivisie and in Europe.
He’s got a long line of suitors reportedly interested in his signature, including Leicester, who have been linked with a move for a while.
Indeed, they were recently told that a move, even at €35m, would be a major bargain for them as he’s better than their current options.
Whether Leicester do make a move remains to be seen, although it’s more likely to happen if Youri Tielemans ends up leaving the club in the summer transfer window, as many are predicting he will.
Sangare may be an ideal replacement in that eventuality, and he’s admitted he would be more than open to moving to the Premier League.
“I am a PSV player, and I am concentrating on the three games we have left this season. I don’t have my head in other things,” he told De Telegraaf.
“After that, I’ll go on holiday, and I’ll have time to talk about possible next projects, but until then, I don’t want to worry about that.
“Playing in the Premier League is not only a dream of mine but a dream of every footballer. That is the biggest and most important league in the world.
“As a little boy in Ivory Coast, Chelsea was the club of my heart. Because Didier Drogba, the best Ivorian striker ever, played there. He is one of my great idols.
“Later, I also became a fan of Manchester City, when Yaya Touré played there. Like me, he played in midfield. Drogba and Touré are the great legends of Ivorian football. Players who really put African football on the map.”
