A host of clubs will no doubt be sizing up a January bid for AC Milan midfielder Clarence Seedorf after he expressed his love for the English game.

The 32-year-old snubbed a number of opportunities to make the switch during his prime years, but he has been thoroughly impressed by the competition's improvement in recent times.

"I would love to play in the Premier League," Seedorf said in the Daily Mail. "Which player wouldn't? It's one of the best leagues in the world. I'm happy at AC Milan but I never say never.

"The development of the Premier League over the last five years has been incredible. The football is exciting with much more quality. I love to watch it on television."

While it is unlikely that a top-four team will come calling for Seedorf at this stage of his career, Champions League hopefuls like Manchester City and Everton could use a player of his caliber and experience.
