“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.”
West Brom will be hoping that they can convince Mathieu Peybernes to join the club after conceding 11 goals in three Premier League games, which sees them sit in 17th position and without a win.
