Feyenoord midfielder Harmeet Singh has put clubs in England on alert after declaring his ambition to play in the Premier League.
The Norway international, who scored a dramatic injury time equaliser against Israel in the opening match of the UEFA Under-21 Championships last summer, moved to the Dutch club from Norwegian side Valerenga in 2011.
But first-team opportunities in Rotterdam have been limited this season and Singh has now turned his attention to fulfilling a lifelong dream by playing in England.
"The attitude towards English football is huge in Norway," said Singh. "People love the game in Norway and in particular the Premier League - they love it and they are really passionate about it.
"Playing in England would be a dream for me but for now I am just thinking about finding the right club where I can play and develop myself as a football player.
"We will see what is going to happen closer to the January transfer window. I think maybe then I will know more than I know now but the most important thing for me is just to play and make it into the first national team of Norway.
"But I am working hard towards it [playing in England] because that is a dream for me also. One day, God willing, I am going to be here."
Singh is currently in London and was presented with a Special Recognition Award at the Asian Football Awards at Wembley on Tuesday night.
He is yet to make a single appearance for Ronald Koeman’s side this season and the former Valerenga midfielder suggested he is eager to move on for the sake of his career.
"I’m at a massive club but at this moment I am not playing as much as I want," added Singh.
"I have told them I want to leave and now we will see what’s going to happen. I explained that it is okay for me if I’m not playing here but I have to go somewhere else where I can play.
"I’m not at Feyenoord to earn money. I want to be the best footballer I can be."
