Levante winger Mustapha Riga is hoping to win a move to England with Middlesbrough and West Brom chasing his signature.

Riga looks set to leave Levante following their relegation from La Liga and he has set his sights on a move to England.

The 26-year-old is planning to invoke Fifa's article 14, which allows a contract to be terminated where there is 'just cause' having gone eight months unpaid at troubled outfit Levante.

The news has alerted both Boro and West Brom to Levante's availability and the former Vitesse Arnhem ace is determined to move to the Premier League before the close of the transfer window.

"The Premier League has always been a dream," Riga told the Sunday Sun. "I've rejected other chances, now I don't want to miss this chance."
