Everton target Arthur Atta open to Premier League move
Everton have added Arthur Atta to their shortlist of targets this summer and it’s understood that Udinese would sanction his sale for around £34m.
Now, Atta has just come out and stated that he will consider his options to leave Italy, with the Premier League a priority for him.
“The Premier League is the best league in the world, if I were to say otherwise it would be a lie,” the 23-year-old told the i Paper.
“It’s a league that everyone would like to be playing in one day. I have not spoken to any clubs yet so I don’t know what can happen in the future.
“I play for Udinese and I would like to keep growing and keep playing – this is the most important thing for me.
“If there are opportunities in the next transfer window, then the club and I will look at the options. I’m really good at Udinese – they help me a lot. I’m a better player compared to when I came.
“The Premier League is the most-followed league where there are a lot of top players. It’s a difficult league, so all games are at a top-quality level. I think that’s why it is the most attractive league.”
