Former Tottenham, Manchester United and Fulham striker Dimitar Berbatov is keen on a return to the Premier League after being released French side Monaco.

The 34-year-old who joined from Fulham, scored nine goals in 37 appearances for the Ligue 1 who finished third this season and helped them reach the Champions League quarter-final before they were defeated by this year's finalists, Juventus.

He had this to say: "It'd be a pleasure [to return to England], I spent a long time in England and I keep very good memories. Everyone is watching the English championship... the Premier League, and I'll be delighted to return. I feel good and I think I still have a lot to give to football."

Vice president Vadim Vasilyev said: "Dimitar Berbatov showed all his talent and great professionalism, he is clearly among the greatest strikers who have played for Monaco. We are proud of what he brought to the club and wish him the best in the future."
