Olympiakos striker Yiannis Okkas admits that he is flattered by interest in him from Blackburn Rovers and several other Premiership clubs.
The 29-year-old Cyprus international is set for a trial at Ewood Park shortly before Christmas, with a January deal in the offing if he impresses.
Okkas told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: "I will go next month to England for the trial and that's all.
"If the two clubs agree terms, then I will play for Rovers. To play in Premier League is a big dream and great honour for me.
"This is the best league in the world at the moment and every player wants to have the chance to play there.
"I hope everything is going to be okay and I can become a Rovers player. Of course, everything depends on my current club."
Charlton Athletic have also been credited with an interest in Okkas.
