Chelsea tormentor Kone chasing Premiership move

FC Cluj striker Yssouf Kone wants to win a move to the Premiership.

"To score against Chelsea is something of a dream realised for me because the English Premier League is my favourite league in Europe and I do hope to move there one day," the 26-year-old forward told BBC Sport.

"It is good to be with the Romanian champions but all players want to reach the top and right now that place is England."

The Burkina Faso international smiled: "I am tired because Alex and John Terry are such powerful players but I am happy with the goal - even though it wasn't enough for us to win the game - and I am suited to the English game, which is fast, strong and physical.

"For an African, I think England is the place to be. We have the attributes to do well."
