Germany captain Michael Ballack believes he can emulate Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane and become a legend in England.

The 29-year-old Bayern Munich midfielder will be a free agent in the summer and is being linked with a move to Barclays Premiership champions Chelsea.

Ballack is confident the league will suit his style.

“For me it is the Premiership rather than La Liga,” Ballack told the Daily Express.

“I am a very physical player and in England the pace is fast and the tackles are hard.

“If you look at the players that have become legends in England, like Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane, I see a lot of myself in players like that.”
