AC Milan forward Alexandre Pato has hinted that he would be open to a move to the Premier League.

The Brazilian, who has two years left on his contract at the San Siro, reaffirmed his commitment to the Rossoneri, but stated that he would love to play in England on day.

"I love English football," The Sun quotes Pato as saying. "I have friends who play for Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United.

"At the moment I have a real taste for playing in the UK, being in London with one month to go before the Olympics.

"My priority is to finish my contract in Milan. I have a lot to thank them for and my focus is to continue doing what I do, to bring joy to the fans in Milan and continue my contract until 2014 - and then afterwards, who knows?"

Injury limited the 22-year-old to just nine starts last season.
