Salomon Kalou flattered by Premier League interest

Lille striker Salomon Kalou has admitted that he is flattered by reported interest from the Premier League.

West Ham United and Liverpool are thought to be interested in the 27-year-old, who has failed to make an impact in France since his free transfer from Chelsea over the summer.

"I am flattered with all teams linked with me in England," said the Ivory Coast international. "It means I am not a bad player as some people think. Teams such as Liverpool, West Ham, are very good teams."

Everton and Queens Park Rangers are also understood to be keen on Kalou.
