Moutinho admits Premier League interest

FC Porto midfielder Joao Moutinho has refused to rule out the possibility of him one day joining a Premier League club.

The Portuguese international has long been linked with a switch to Chelsea.

Despite admitting that he is happy with his current employers, the 25-year-old has conceded that the English top flight is one of the "best leagues" in world football.

"Every player wants to experiment with different leagues. Right now I'm happy because I am playing in one of the biggest in Europe. But if a good opportunity arose we'd have to see," said Moutinho.

"The Premier League? I can only say it's one of the best leagues in the world - but I have not spoken with any club."

Moutinho joined Porto in 2010 from Sporting Lisbon.
