Werder Bremen defender Thomas Delaney is edging closer to a departure this summer.

And the Denmark international's preferred destination is the Premier League.

After their 0-0 draw with Bayer Leverkusen, Delaney was asked about his plans: "I do not know. I have nothing to say.

"It's a fine line: On the one hand, I want to be honest, on the other hand, it is then interpreted as if I show no respect for the club and my contract."

He added: "What will happen happens. I am happy to be with Werder and proud of what we have achieved."

Delaney has been a long-term target for Everton, while Brighton made a formal attempt to sign the defender in January.
