Mustapha Riga says he is determined to secure a move to England this summer, with a host of Premier League clubs rumoured to be interested in the Levante forward.
The 25-year-old has been with the Spanish club for two seasons, having made his name with Sparta Rotterdam and the former Holland Under-21 international feels the time is right for a new challenge.
He admitted: "It is certain for a month now that there have been several clubs from England looking at me and that want to sign me.
"I just want the best thing for everyone and I cannot deny that I would like to play in England. One of my dreams as a footballer was to be in the Premier League.
"I could have gone before I joined Levante, but I thought it was best to come to Spain.
"Now after two years here, I have fulfilled the objectives that I gave myself and now I would like to play in England."
Middlesbrough are reported to be leading the chase for Riga, with West Ham and Portsmouth also linked with the pacy frontman.
