Nancy defender Mikael Chretien is ready for a move to the Premiership after rumours that Blackburn, West Ham and Fulham were all interested in the talented youngster.

Chretien himself talked up rumours of a move to the Premiership: "I am aware of the interest from clubs in Europe, but I need to start playing again first.

"We will see what happens at the end of the season."
