Ouaddou: Keen on England
Moroccan star Abdeslam Ouaddou has confirmed to skysports.com that he would love to return to England.
The 29-year-old Valenciennes defender was previously in the Premier League with Fulham, and he is now being tipped for a move back.
Newly-promoted duo Stoke and West Brom are said to be keen along with Newcastle and Middlesbrough.
And speaking exclusively to skysports.com, Ouaddou has revealed he would relish playing in England again.
"Any player in the world would consider playing in the Premier League," he said.
"You can test yourself against the best players in the world, it is a dream and I am flattered to be linked with those teams.
"If a club agrees a fee for me, I would go where I was needed and would represent Moroccan football with pride."
Ouaddou's former club Nancy, who have qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League, have also shown an interest in him.
