Chelsea, Man Utd target Bacinovic admits Premier League ambition

Palermo star Armin Bacinovic is eyeing an England move.

The Slovenian midfielder only joined Palermo last summer, but he has been attracting rave reviews, and Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool have all been strongly linked with a bid for him.

Bacinovic was part of the Slovenian side that drew 0-0 in Belfast against Northern Ireland earlier this week.

"In Belfast, there were so many hard tackles, we fought for every ball. But that is the way I like to play football," he told Sportskenovosti.

"I enjoy so much the hard battles, I'm a die-hard player and I never step back, not even one centimetre.

"There was one moment where one of the Northern Ireland players got really close to me - he thought that I would be scared and move away, but I pushed him away and the ref stepped in between us.

"But yes, I really like the British kind of football so my big wish is to play in the Premier League one day."
