“Sometimes you just know when it’s time to move on and take a new step. The Premiership, in particular, is brilliant and the fans are fantastic and just to be there every week would be a dream for me,” he told The Guardian.

“Liverpool, with a new manager, will be looking to strengthen their squad. With one or two players they could be a very talented team. The basis is already there with Stevie Gerrard and Michael Owen.

“That would be a great destination for me, and I think I would fit in really well.

“Arsenal are a wonderful team. I’d love to play for them but I just don’t know if they need any new players.

“Manchester United are in a bit of a transition and Chelsea have a wad of money to spend on who they want.

“If I had carte blanche to choose I would say I’d be a good fit at Liverpool. But I also feel I’d be a good fit at Arsenal and even at Man United for that matter.”
