Defender desires future move to the Premier League

Sparta Rotterdam defender Dele Adeleye has claimed Everton have made a 'serious bid' for his services. The Nigerian has previously been linked with a move to the Premier League, with a number of clubs said to be interested, but a move failed to materialise. However, Adeleye has renewed speculation surrounding his future by stating his desire to one day play in England's highest tier. The 20-year-old told the Nigerian daily Sun News: "There has been a lot of interest from the Premier League and I think Everton have made a serious bid in the past. "I cannot confirm now if there is negotiations between them and my club. What I know is that I am still a Rotterdam player. "I would really love to play in the Premier League because it has been my desire to play in the top league in Europe."
