David Villa watch...

This week he is mostly liking the Premiership.

 

David Villa has admitted there are several Premiership clubs that appeal to him.

 

The Spanish striker was once again linked with a move away from Valencia in the January transfer window but nothing materialised, as the player insisted he was not considering leaving.

 

Much of the speculation in recent months has centred on Chelsea, and Villa is happy to confess his admiration for the reigning Premiership champions.

 

But he admits he is also drawn to Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.

 

"I am attracted to the strength of Chelsea and the pace and mobility of Arsenal, especially at home," Villa told The Times.

 

"Everybody loves Manchester United - they have played some of the best football in Europe for a long while, maintaining a good defensive discipline.

 

"Liverpool are like Valencia - a team full of heart, good at the back with a midfield of quality and built so it is very difficult to beat them."

 

Villa also believes the Premiership is home to some of the world's best players, including Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Cristiano Ronaldo.

 

He explained: "Because of the way football is played now, there are not many players like Cristiano Ronaldo in the world - brilliant in one-on-ones.

 

"Lampard has got lots of quality in his passing and covers lots of ground.

 

"He and Gerrard are two of the best midfielders in the world because they mix quality and physical presence."

 

Valencia are not expected to part with Villa for anything less than a gigantic sum, but Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid are reportedly leading the chase for his signature.
