Keisuke Honda hints that he will leave Russia

Japan international Keisuke Honda today told interviewers that he thinks his time in Russia has come to an end, and that he is ready for the next challenge. Honda has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Arsenal and Man City both linked with his coveted signature.

Since arriving at CSKA Moscow, Honda has been a massive success in Russia; but in an interview today he confessed that maybe the time has come for a move elsewhere.


"I've had a fantastic time in Russia, but now it's time for a new challenge," said Honda.


"I'm asking myself everyday 'am I ready for the next move?'"


"I'm done with Russia and that's all that I can say.


"My next wish is also to make sure I help Japan to the World Cup."
