Lyon starlet reveals Premier League wish

Lyon defender Samuel Umtiti has revealed that he wants to play in the Premier League, with Arsenal and Chelsea reportedly keen.

French youth international Umtiti, 21, is adept either at left-back or in the centre of the defence.

He was heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium over the summer, while Premier League champions Chelsea are monitoring his progress.

And the Cameroon-born starlet insists that he is happy at Lyon, but would one day like to test his skills in England or Spain.

Umtiti said:  “I’m very ambitious, I have quite a few goals, but I’ve still got many things to learn with Lyon.

“Going abroad is a dream, there are very great clubs that you dream about. England? Everyone admires that league.

“I would say I prefer the Spanish game, but to be honest, I don’t have a real preference.”

Umtiti was a member of the French Under-17 side which reached the semi-finals of the 2010 European Under-17 Championships, losing to eventual winners England.
