Real Madrid ace Luis Figo has sparked the interest of England's elite by declaring he wants to move to the Premiership before the end of his career.
The Portuguese international was linked with Manchester United over the summer, while Newcastle United boss Sir Bobby Robson knows Figo from his days with Barcelona.
"For me, I want to play in the English championship," he said.
"I adore the atmosphere that is breathed in their game."
Figo could go as early as next June, with Real Madrid already making plans to land Real Betis youngster Joaquin as the 30 year-old's long-term replacement.
