Arsenal, Spurs target Kalou wants Premier League return

Lille striker Salomon Kalou admits he wants to return to England.

Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham United are keen on the former Chelsea forward.

Kalou told the BBC World Service: "There has been a lot of talking about me going back to England. I had an amazing time with Chelsea and I always keep that good memory with me.

"If I have the chance to go back, I would love to, because it's the most exciting league in the world so I would like to try it again. I have to focus on doing well here and then the World Cup is coming, so I have to focus on that, too.

"Whatever team comes for me after the World Cup, I can decide where I can develop as a player, where I can have an impact, because it's important to go to a team who suit me and who give me the opportunity to excel.

"I'm having a great time here. We want to qualify for the Champions League, we want to win the French Cup. I need to keep fit and go to the World Cup with a lot of ambition because there is a good opportunity for the Ivory Coast there."
