Neymar has sensationally revealed he would like to play in the Premier League.
The Brazilian striker has put the Premier League’s big hitters on red alert by admitting he is keen to play in England.
Neymar name-checked Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool as teams he admires – surprisngly snubbing Tottenham and Manchester City.
The 25-year-old told The press: “The Premier League is a championship that amazes me. I like the playing style and the teams. And who knows, someday, I would like to play at it, yes.”
“I admire Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool — these are the teams that are always there fighting.
“And then you have high-level coaches like Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola. These are coaches with whom any player would like to work.”
Neymar also discussed Premier League champions Leicester, who are the only English team to join Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals.
“In the Premier League you never know who is going to win or who will be champions, it is always a surprise,” Neymar said.
“Leicester are very good. They had a great season last year, they were Premier League champions and therefore we need to respect them if we draw them in the Champions League.”
Neymar has struck up a strong understanding with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez to create a devastating trio at Barcelona.
All three scored as Barcelona produced one of the greatest comebacks in football history to beat Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 last week.
Neymar added: “The three of us are a good match and thank God we are making history.
“Even today we keep on wondering what happened there because that night was a historical, wonderful night.
“We needed a miracle and the god of football gave us a miracle.
“We celebrated a lot in the changing room and the excitement levels were very high. Then I celebrated with my family and friends. With that game, we must celebrate, there is no other way. I couldn’t go home and sleep.”
