Moroccan forward Younes Belhanda, who currently plays for France's Montpellier Football Club, said he is interested to move to the English Premier League, Al Ahram Online reported on Saturday.

"I have always said that my preference would be England, but if they can't agree a price with my current club then I will not go there" Belhanda said.

The 23-year-old player said "nothing has been decided yet" and that his "club wants $19.71m and not many teams can pay that."

 The forward player has many clubs that have already shown interest in him. Italian giants AC Milan, Inter and Turkey's Galatasaray, and Premier League side Aston Villa were reportedly interested in signing him as well.
