Striker flattered by English interest

Freiburg striker Papiss Cisse has insisted he is flattered by reported interest from the Premier League but feels another year in the Bundesliga might be best for his development. Blackburn have been tracking the Senegal international for some time, while Arsenal and Dinamo Moscow have also been linked with a move. Freiburg recently revealed that they had yet to receive an offer for the 26-year-old, who scored 22 goals last season. And Cisse is planning to remain in Germany for another 12 months despite taking satisfaction from the stories that he is attracting widespread attention. He told skysports.com: "I have been linked with clubs but like my sport director keeps on saying, there is no offer for me yet from any club. "To be linked with the Premier League is fantastic, but to be honest one more year in the Bundesliga can teach me some lessons about top-flight football."
