Zokora eyes Premiership switch

Friday 16 December, 2005


Saint-Etienne midfielder Didier Zokora has reiterated his desire to move to the Premiership, listing Arsenal and Manchester United as his preferred clubs.

The Ivory Coast international is one of the hottest properties in Europe, but he is unlikely to move in January as he is set for African Cup of Nations duty.

“I really don't know if I will move to United. I know they have made contact with Saint Etienne, which means I am doing something very good in my matches,” he told Sky Sports. “However, nothing has been decided yet.

“It would be a dream to play for such a massive club, but Arsenal are also a great team to me and it is just good that managers such as Sir Alex Ferguson and Mr. Wenger are looking at you.

“Always when I am training my Coach talks to me about Patrick Vieira, Claude Makelele and Roy Keane, and one day I will reach their level.

“I am still learning, but I am confident in myself and know with hard work I might be there one day.”
