The Toro defender is satisfied in Italy, but admits that he would like to to ply his trade in a different country one day, possibly in England

Torino centre-back Angelo Ogbonna has said that he is happy at his current club, but that he would be interested in a move abroad in future, adding that English culture 'fascinates' him.

The 24-year-old, who has been with the Turin side for his entire career, has been linked with teams such as Arsenal, Juventus, Milan and Manchester United.

"I would go willingly [to play abroad in future], to learn about foreign cultures," the Italy international told Tuttosport.

"The English world fascinates me. It [the football] is similar in style to in Turin. And I speak English."

The defender was quick to add that he is happy at his current club, however.

"I have always been happy here," said Ogbonna. "I have a long contract. I will give my all this season – my dream is to do well in the present, live day by day and we'll see.

"I do it for myself and for my team, to give glory to the people, and to entertain the fans. I would do the same in any other team," he added.
