Marseille striker Iliman Ndiaye has revealed his desire to one day return to England.

Ndiaye helped Sheffield United earn promotion to the top flight last season.

However, he chose to sign for Marseille rather than slog it out in the Premier League with the Blades.

Sheffield United do have a clause that allows them to match any bid that Marseille accepts for Ndiaye in the next few years.

Ndiaye said recently on why he joined Marseille: “It started when I was five years old and I was given my first football kit; it was a Marseille shirt.

“But that's not the only thing that makes me love this club. The fans, the crazy atmosphere in the stadium … I've always dreamed of playing in front of them.

“And the great players that I've seen playing for Marseille. It made me want to become like them. It's a dream come true. One day I would like to play in the Premier League again; it's a big championship. Maybe some day."
