Basel defender Dragovic hoping to follow Villa's Weimann to Premier League

FC Basel defender Aleksandar Dragovic has hinted that he would love to play in the English Premier League.

The 22-year old Austria international arrived in Switzerland in 2011 and has been a key part of the Basel side since but could be lured to England's top flight just as his compatriot Andreas Weimann did with Aston Villa.

"I regularly speak to Andreas, who has told me a lot about how much he enjoys playing in England," Dragovic old told The Sun.

"It's competition at the highest level, which is what I'm looking for.

"The fans are fantastic, and the clubs command a lot of respect around the world."
