Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato admitted that he is dreaming of a move to the Premier League, in an interview with ​the Telegraph.​





Pato has been linked with a move to England on numerous occasions with ​Arsenal, ​Liverpool and ​Tottenham Hotspur the clubs reportedly interested.





The 26-year-old, currently playing for Brazilian team Corinthians, made his name at Serie A club AC Milan and was widely tipped to become the best striker in the world before injuries saw him decline.





But now, after a recuperative spell with Corinthians, Pato is ready for a move back to the big leagues and has set his sights on the Premier League.





"One day," Pato said. "I would like to come to England because I think the championship [the Premier League] is the No1 in the world.





"I want to write a new story in Europe, to make a new history. I want to come to win the championship and play again in the Champions League.





"I have dreams again. I want to create this new story, a good new story. I like the emotion in the English league."





Many say the Premier League can be too physical for some players with the likes of Robinho failing to make an impact. But Pato says that he would relish the competition after talking to fellow Brazilians.





He added: " I don’t think the physical part of English football would be a problem. When you get the ball, you need to be ready. The defenders here are very tough. I like that.





"I have spoken to Willian, [Roberto] Firmino, [Philippe] Coutinho and David Luiz before. I think Brazilian players can play here. You mix talent and intelligence and Brazilian players can play here.





"When I see my friends like Willian here, I am happy. It is difficult to play here because there is much contact.





"It would be a new challenge but it’s soccer, no? There is a ball. It is the same all over the world. Talent is a feeling that you want to play."





Pato has one year left on his Corinthians contract and it is believed he can be pried away for £15m.
