Skysports.com understand that Andres D'Alessandro is being lined up for a return to the Premier League.

The Argentine international spent the latter part of the 2005/06 season on loan at Portsmouth and impressed hugely.

After his successful stint with Pompey, D'Alessandro opted against a permanent move to Fratton Park - instead choosing a loan switch to Spain with Real Zaragoza.

He once again impressed during his temporary stay with Zaragoza and they made his move from Wolfsburg permanent this summer.

Fall-out

However, recent weeks have seen D'Alessandro fall-out with team-mate and compatriot Pablo Aimar and coach Victor Fernandez.

D'Alessandro has been welcomed back into the first-team after making a public apology but his long-term future at La Romareda is far from certain.

D'Alessandro's falling out has alerted his former employers Portsmouth, who are regarded as front-runners to secure his signature.

However, skysports.com has learnt that up to half-a-dozen Premier League clubs are interested in taking on the 26-year-old, who has proved before he is capable of handling the physical nature of English football.
