FC Twente striker Luuk De Jong has admitted that he would like to feature in the Premier League one day.

The 21-year-old has been linked with a number of English clubs in the past, with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in particular said to be interested.

De Jong has stressed that he is "happy" with Twente but has refused to rule out the possibility of a move away.

"First I want to emphasise that I'm happy at Twente," De Jong told FIFA's official website.

"But every footballer has dreams, me included. One is to play in a major international competition and the Premier League would also be a great challenge.

"You do not know what will happen."

De Jong has scored 13 goals for the Dutch club this season.
