Palermo signing Kyle Lafferty hopes his move to Italy will help him earn a transfer to the Premier League.

The former Burnley and Rangers striker signed for Palermo last week from FC Sion.

"I would love to play in the Premier League," said Lafferty.

"Obviously the Premier League is classed as the best league in the world and you just have to look at who has played in it and who plays in it to see that.

"I would love to play in the Premier League one day and hopefully I'll do well in Italy and hopefully get the chance one day."
