Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has revealed many of his Spain teammates are now considering a move to the Premiership.

"People in Spain are paying a lot of attention to the Premier League now," he said. "Three or four years ago most of the top Spanish players were playing in Spain but now it's very different.

"Many good Spanish players are looking for a chance. They have seen myself, (Pepe) Reina and (Fernando) Torres and they know the Premiership is improving and very strong. They also know there are things they have to improve in the Spanish league."
