Lucas Biglia eager to switch leagues

Lucas Biglia has admitted that he would like to leave Anderlecht in a bid to secure a spot in the Argentina squad for the 2014 World Cup.

The midfielder has been linked with Arsenal and Newcastle United in recent months and he has opened the door for a possible exit in the near future.

"Time is running out," Biglia told Het Nieuwsblad. "I don't have to be at a big top team, just to a bigger league. I need that if I want to play with Argentina in 2014 at the World Cup.

"If I arrive in Argentina my manager will pick me up at the airport. I have asked him to tell me in Buenos Aires what my options are. I hope to begin after New Year's Eve. In England, Spain and Italy there is not a real winter break.

"It's clear Spain and Italy are dream destinations but I won't close the gate on Russia."

The 26-year-old has played seven times for Argentina.
