Reported Nottingham Forest target Mathieu Peybernes has hinted he would be keen on a move to English football.
The well-travelled French defender, who has been made available by Almeria, enjoyed an excellent loan spell at Lugo last season and is attracting interest from clubs in both Spain and the UK.
West Bromwich Albion and Swansea City, along with Forest, have been linked with the 29-year-old, while Getafe are also said to be keen on the centre-back.
In an interview with Onze Mondail, Peybernes confirmed there has been interest from several clubs in his services, although he outlined his preference of playing top-tier football.
“There has been interest from different clubs. There are a few days of transfer window, it is the money time, where everything is done,” he said.
“I have never hidden my desire to play in the first division. I want to reach the highest level. There was interest from English clubs. What matters most to me is having a serious long-term project, seeing a future with a club.
“I’ve moved around a lot lately, it hasn’t always been easy. Everyone needs stability. It is the sporting project that will count more than the destination itself.
“It’s true that I haven’t played [in England] yet. The Premier League, we all know what it is – a very competitive league, one of the best or even the best league. It’s a place where you have to be physically ready to win.”
