Siaka Tiene has admitted he would welcome the opportunity to move to England this summer.[LNB] The Valenciennes midfielder has been strongly linked with a host of Premier League clubs of late, with the likes of Sunderland and Wigan believed to be leading the chase.[LNB]The Ivory Coast international does still have two years left to run on his contract in France, but he feels that would not be a problem should a suitable offer materialise.[LNB]"I have always dreamt of playing in the Premier League," he said.[LNB]"It is the best league in the world and I want to go and play there. I would like to go there if an agreement can be reached with my club.[LNB]"However, if I don't leave it would not be a disaster. It would, though, be fantastic for my career to play in England."[LNB]Asked about rumours suggesting he could be on his way to Sunderland, Tiene said: "It is all still speculation at the moment, there is nothing definite.[LNB]"That means I cannot comment on that directly. Let's just say if a club want me, they have to make an offer to my club and speak to my advisers in England."[LNB]
