Brazilian midfielder Jadson has opened up the possibility of a move from Shakhtar Donetsk to Liverpool or Arsenal, admitting he is honoured to be attracting interest from Premier League clubs.

The 28-year-old has played in Ukraine since 2005, winning the National League and cup with the Donetsk based side.

Jadson told The Independent: "I’ve been hearing that there is a possibility of some interest from Liverpool but there’s nothing concrete at the moment.

"During my seven years in the Ukraine I have won seven domestic titles and a UEFA Cup, it’s more than I could have ever imagined.

"Maybe a move in the near future will happen if it’s suits everybody involved. If a chance to move to England occurred I would be happy to go and dedicate myself to winning another title in a new country."

Arsenal were thought to be interested in the four-times capped player in the summer but a move never materialised.

"Like the interest from Liverpool the thing with Arsenal never got further than newspaper speculation," the midfielder continued.

"I can’t react until something concrete appears. However, it’s a great honour to be linked with famous clubs in England.

"I remember playing against Arsenal and I was impressed. I also remember beating Tottenham Hotspur in European competition."

Liverpool may be looking to bolster their midfield ranks after it was confirmed that Lucas Leiva will miss the rest of the season through injury.

Jadson admitted he has been in touch with his compatriot, but not to discuss a move to Anfield.

He continued: "I called Lucas the other day but it was only to ask him about his injury and wish him all the best for his recovery.

"It’s sad to see such a great player prevented from playing. He has not told me much about Liverpool but for sure I already know about The Beatles!"
