Red Star Belgrade striker, Richmond Boakye-Yiadom says he is still hoping to play in the English Premier League before he hangs his boots.

Boakye-Yiadom, 27, was close to joining heavyweights Chelsea during the tenure of Italian gaffer Antonio Conte, but the deal fell through.

But the lanky attacker is optimistic of a dream move into the English Premier League.

”I had the opportunity to go to England but a deal didn’t go through, I am training hard to get to England because is one of my dreams. I want to play in England before I retire,”  the former Juventus signing told Tv3’s Juliet Bawuah in a social media chat.

”It doesn’t matter the club I will play but any of the EPL clubs will do.

”Some time back there were some interest from clubs like West Bromwich Albion, Chelsea, Newcastle United and a couple of others but the move couldn’t happen so I had to move to China.”

He has previously featured for Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning, Latina, Atlanta, Elche and Sassuolo.
