Sporting Lisbon midfielder Miguel Veloso admits he is flattered by interest from Arsenal.

Asked about reports that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is keen to sign him, Veloso said: "I am very happy, which is normal when a coach like Wenger is pleased with your work.

"England is a place where I'd like to play, but I am also keen on Italy and Spain. These three championships are the ones that inspire me most."
