Newcastle United targeted defender excited about Premier League

Red Bull Salzburg’s highly-rated youngster Oumar Solet admits the Premier League ‘excites him’ as Newcastle United and Everton track the defender

Red Bull Salzburg defender Oumar Solet has told Mail Sport he is open to a Premier League move this summer amid interest from England’s top-flight.

The former France Under 20 international is attracting major interest from a host of European clubs ahead of next season, with Serie A sides Inter Milan and Torino among the teams keen on the versatile defender.

However, a number of Premier League teams – Newcastle and Everton among them – are also tracking Solet, who admits he is open to moving to England.

‘I have a lot of ambitions, to be honest. I’m just on my way – for sure the Premier League excites me a lot,’ the 23-year-old told Mail Sport.

‘I feel it’s a league that I can perform in really well and it can bring me to the top. It’s probably the best league in the would. I feel if I have the chance it’s going to help make me become the top player I want to be.

‘That’s exactly what I need for the next step. I’m a challenger, a competitor, a winner. I have big ambitions in football and outside football. I want to be a really big player.

‘I really want to look at myself in 20 years and be proud of what I did. Let’s see what happens and I will give 100 percent with any team I play with.
