Uruguay and Atletico Madrid star Diego Forlan has conceded that there is a chance he may move to the Premier League, amidst interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
The 31-year-old has been in scorching form for his club and country, and remains in contention to be handed the Golden Boot - having scored four goals en route to his country's third place play-off with Germany.
Forlan's performances had linked him with a return to the Premier League, as Spurs boss Harry Redknapp revealed his admiration for the forward's exploits. But the former Manchester United man rejected the idea at the time, maintaining that he would "never" return to play in England.
However, it appears that he has now had a change of heart, as he insists that he would consider a "good offer".
"They have to be a good offer (sic) and we have to see," Forlan told reporters.
"I am very happy in Madrid and the way the city and the team are always with me.
"[But] you never know. If it is a good offer we have to see if the team wants me to leave or not and then we have to sit and talk."
