Aston Villa & Tottenham Hotspur target Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
Dutchman reveals he'd be tempted by England switch...

AC Milan striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has revealed he would welcome a move to the Premier League this summer in a bid to resurrect his career.
The former Ajax goal-getter has struggled to settle in Italy, something which has seen him restricted to substitute appearances following his £12 million switch from Real Madrid in 2009.
Having been regarded as one of the hottest properties in Europe following spells at Heerenveen and Ajax, Huntelaar's career has hit a rocky path in recent campaigns.
Despite only 25 appearances last season, the Netherlands international did find the net seven times, something which has reportedly got Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur interested in his signature.
And a relocation to England is something the 26-year-old would be keen on.
"Moving to England would be a great thing for me. It [the Premier League] is a league I always watch. It's exciting and the football would suit my game because teams attack," Huntelaar told the Sunday Mirror.
"A lot of great Dutch players have played in England - players I have admired like Dennis Bergkamp - and everyone wants to play there. It is one of the best leagues in Europe.
"I have been close in the past to coming to England with some clubs very interested in me but I chose to go to Milan. We will see what happens. Of course the Champions League is important but the most important thing for me is to play.
"My first focus is on the World Cup final and then after that it will be on AC Milan, so we will see what happens when I get back from Italy.
"I want to play in Milan but I don't want to sit on the bench."
