Dalian Yifang attacker Yannick Carrasco is ready to return to Europe this summer.

Carrasco, who was linked with a move to Arsenal in the January transfer window this season, has recently found himself on the fringes of the Belgium squad.

He said: "I would love to return to Europe. A lot of clubs were interested in me.

"We tried to find a solution in January that would enable me to leave Dalian Yifang.

"But I can understand the club's thinking. They wanted me to stay. I still feel OK in China. But I have lost my starting place in the Belgian national side.

"This can happen with a team of their quality.

"With the level of competition there will always be times when you don't get to play a lot."
