Chelsea and West Ham target Bony has Premiership ambitions

Ivory Coast and Vitesse Arnhem striker Wilfried Bony has admitted that he would be interested in a move to the Premier League. The 24-year-old is currently the top scorer in the Dutch Eredivisie with 31 goals. Chelsea and West Ham are among the clubs that have been linked with Bony.

"The transfer market has not started yet. There's nothing concrete," he told BBC Sport.

"There is a lot of talk about me in the newspapers but I'm still focused on the last two games of the season with Vitesse and at the end of the season we will see.

"I've heard the rumours [about Chelsea being interested], like you've heard about that. There's nothing concrete. We'll see at the end of the season."

Bony feels a move to England would suit him.

"I'm very interested in the Premier League and the atmosphere in England, it's a wonderful league and we will see what happens," he explained.

"For me the Premier League is the top league [in Europe], but the Bundesliga is also good - France, Italy and Spain they're all good too.

"England I think would be perfect.

"It would be great for me [to move to a club in the Champions League]. It's the only competition I haven't played in yet."
