Modeste M'bami has set his sights on a switch to the Premier League amid speculation linking him with Blackburn. The Marseille midfielder will become a free agent this summer and he is keen to leave France and embark on a fresh challenge. He is open to offers from any club in a major European league but admits his preference would be to head to England. The likes of Fulham and Birmingham have been credited with an interest in the 26-year-old Cameroonian but Blackburn are understood to be leading the chase. According to reports in the French press, negotiations have already begun with the player's representative. M'bami told skysports.com: "I have made my mind up to move to another league. "The Premier League will be my first choice but I am not focused only on the Premier League. "I will make my destination clear in the next two weeks."
