Former Charlton defender Souleymane Diawara has revealed his ambition to play Premier League football in the near future.
The 28-year-old handed in a transfer request in order not to play in The Championship and was allowed to join Ligue 1 title contenders Bordeaux.
"Of course I want to play Premier League football again, I hope I will return pretty soon," Diawara told setantasports.com.
"It took me time to adapt and to understand their football, but when I learnt it I started to have a lot of fun.
"Charlton had a good team and if we had not been disturbed by non-sporting issues, I think we could have avoided the drop. That is life. I do not regret at all this very interesting experience and I want to return."
