Livorno striker Alessandro Diamanti says it would be a dream to play in the English Premier League.

The 26-year old Italian is being closely linked with a move to West Ham United despite his current club suggesting he will stay put.

But Diamanti has revealed he would love to land at Upton Park if it was possible.

"West Ham would change my life," he told Sky Italia .

"It will be hard remaining with Livorno, even despite the affection of the supporters which I will remember forever.

"I'll talk with president Aldo Spinelli," he added. "It would be a dream joining the Premier League."
