French defender Michael Ciani looks likely to exit Lorient and has the English Premier League in his sights.

The 25-year old has revealed he would only like to remain in his home country if a big club came along but ultimately would love to land in England.

"If I have to stay in France, it would only be for such big clubs, otherwise I would prefer to go abroad," he told Aujourd'hui Sport.

"I heard about interest from Paris. It is a very good trail for me. I am happy to see big clubs are attracted.

"I know coach Antoine Kombouare (new PSG manager) has appreciated me as he already wanted to sign me when he was at Valenciennes.

"There are clubs interested so I will surely leave Lorient this summer."

Bolton and Fulham are reportedly interested in Ciani's services.
