Santos attacker Yeferson Soteldo has confessed he wants to play in the Premier League.

Soteldo has opened up on his desire to try his hand in the Premier League.

Speaking to the official FIFA website he said: "Today I can say that I'm ready to take it to the next level, although I feel good here at Santos.

"We'll see after the Copa America. I've always liked the English league."

Everton and Manchester United have been linked with Soteldo over the past 12 months.

The 22-year-old Venezuela international was asked about his future last year, revealing his wish of one day turning out for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

“I have the dream of playing for Manchester United," he told Venezuelan outlet Ruta Vinotinto.
